Lummi Island Wild
Bellingham, Washington
Located near Bellingham, Washington, Lummi Island Wild operates in the heart of the Salish Sea, where the Pacific Northwest salmon run has shaped both culture and ecology for centuries. Known for pioneering one of the most sustainable fisheries in the world, the company harvests salmon using a traditional reefnet method—a solar-powered fishery that produces virtually no bycatch mortality. Each fish is handled with care, ensuring non-targeted species are released safely to continue their life cycles. This approach has earned Lummi Island Wild the highest sustainability rating from the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch, making their salmon a benchmark for responsible fishing.
Lummi Island Wild’s mission is simple yet profound: to provide the highest quality wild-caught seafood while protecting the environment for future generations of fish and people. They partner with tribal and state fishers across the Salish Sea and Alaska, supporting local communities and ensuring that every product they offer is traceable, sustainable, and uncompromising in quality. Their dedication has earned them national recognition, including multiple Good Food Awards for their smoked and preserved salmon.
For Lummi Island Wild, wild salmon is more than just food—it is an icon of the Northwest and a keystone species essential to the health of the region. By combining ancient fishing methods with modern sustainability practices, they have built a model for ethical seafood that honors tradition, supports ecosystems, and delivers truly extraordinary flavor.
