CSF Program
The 
CSF, or Community Supported Fishery program, is a seafood subscription that offers longline species and troll-caught salmon harvested from local Southeast waters. Modeled after Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscriptions that deliver fresh produce from local farmers, our CSF program brings you wild Alaskan seafood from the folks who fish our waters. Proceeds from the Alaskans Own CSF benefit the Fishery Conservation Network and the Southeast fishing community.
The CSF… LocalSeafood + Sustainability
The seafood you receive as part of your CSF subscription is harvested by a select group of Southeast fishermen committed to sustainable fishing practices and the mission of the Fishery Conservation Network. All proceeds from our CSF program support the efforts of this network, which include reducing fisheries bycatch, lowering the fleet’s carbon footprint, and furthering whale research.
What you'll find in your CSF Subscription
Our subscriptions include a total of four monthly pick-ups of Southeast-caught seafood during the months of May, June, July and August. Our species mix includes king and coho salmon, halibut, sablefish, ling cod and rockfish. Product is flash-frozen at its freshest, portioned and commercially vacuum-packed.
