About

We didn't start with a brand. We started with a place.

Bristol Bay Bites was built from a friendship, a fishery, and one of the last great wild salmon ecosystems on earth. Here's the longer version.

The People

The Founders

Nick fishes Bristol Bay. Jeremy builds brands. They met in Portland in 2018, became friends through years of family dinners and backyard hangouts, and eventually turned a long-running conversation into a company.

The Craft

The Fisherman

Bristol Bay has been worked by the same families, in the same boats, for generations. Nick is one of roughly 1,200 captains who run nets here each summer. This is the fleet, the season, and the way the fish gets to your bag.

The Place

The Fish

Every summer, the largest wild sockeye salmon run on earth returns to Bristol Bay. Forty thousand square miles of rivers, lakes, and tundra in southwestern Alaska. No hatcheries, no fish farms. Just one of the last wild salmon ecosystems still working the way it always has.
