Fish Brothers Wholesale Information


        Fish Brothers was created in 1984 in the Northern California coastal town of Arcata to provide a quality smoked fish without adding nitrites, color and other additives found in commercially available smoked products.  Our products have always been, and always will be, completely natural.
        We originally marketed in the Northern California area, but have now expanded nationwide with air freight and quick delivery services available to maintain product freshness.  Each batch of smoked fish we create is inspected by our quality control team.  This is possible because our products are created in small batches.
        Our customers include Whole Food Markets, Wild Oats Markets, Mountain People's Warehouse, Federation of Ohio River Co-operatives, Safeway, CostCo, Von's Pavilions, Blooming Prairie Warehouse as well as many bagel shops, restaurants and natural food stores across the country.
        Our salmon come from Alaska's cold clear waters and our albacore tuna are line-caught off the Northern California and Oregon coast and are guaranteed dolphin safe.Our rainbow trout are grown in spring water from Idaho's Snake River Canyon and our sturgeon are farm raised here in California giving wild sturgeon stocks a chance to recover. All of our smoked fish is produced in convenient retail packs as well as larger packs for bulk use.
        We smoke with alder wood, a hardwood abundantly available on the west coast, which imparts a unique and delicious flavor and is in fact the wood members of the Hupa, Yurok, Karok and Tsurai tribes have used to smoke salmon since ancient times.
        We continue the tradition with modern smokehouses and we vacuum pack our products for assured freshness from our new processing facility to your customers.
        We have recently relocated to a brand new facility in Blue Lake, California, allowing us to expand our capacity, product lines and service.
