Wildfish Cannery
Alaskan Smoked Herring
About This Tin
Wildfish Cannery's Smoked Herring captures the bold, savory essence of Alaska's pristine waters in each carefully preserved tin. Harvested by purse-seine from the abundant waters of Southeast Alaska and Bristol Bay, these herring are meticulously smoked over alder wood by a family-owned micro-cannery that has perfected their craft over three decades. The result is a robust, deeply flavorful tinned fish with the perfect balance of natural umami and aromatic smoke that pays homage to a tradition spanning over 2,000 years in European culinary history.
For 30 years, this small Klawock, Alaska operation has worked directly with local fishermen to preserve exceptional seafood using time-honored smoking techniques. Their artisanal approach combines traditional methods with a precise blend of salt, brown sugar, garlic, and black pepper before the fish undergoes their signature smoking process. This careful preparation transforms the humble herring into a versatile delicacy that reconnects us with America's forgotten food traditions while celebrating the global appreciation for this remarkable fish.
