Seafood Processing and Fish Boxes

From Catch to freezer (Yours)
One of the best parts of a Wadleigh Island Expeditions Alaska fishing trip is savoring your catch when you get home. And once you’ve lured those salmon, halibut, lingcod, and rockfish to your boat, your job is done. At Wadleigh Island Expeditions, guests leave the fish cleaning, trimming, and packaging to our crew.

Fish Cuts
Not sure which cut to choose? Just ask your fishing guide about options for the tastiest steaks and fillets. Not only are our guides experienced mariners, but they’re also well versed in the fish processing at Wadleigh Island Expeditions.

Fish Prep
Our processing crew cleans and trims as much fish as you catch, and we will get it vacuum-pack and have it ready for shipment in a wet-lock box. Please note the approximate percentage yields of trimmed fish (relative to caught fish weight) after processing:

• Salmon, 45 percent
• Halibut, 45 percent
• Lingcod, 20 percent
• Rockfish, 17 percent

Fish Boxes and Shipping
At Wadleigh Island Expeditions Alaska, fish boxes accompany guests as luggage and travel under Alaska Airlines weight restrictions. On departure day, our on-site Alaska Airlines agent tags your fish boxes at check-in, right along with your bags.

If you have plans to continue your travels before returning home, our crew can recommend nearby freezer storage facilities or arrange for future delivery.
