It's the latest... full transparency fishing!

Hi

Used. To. Serve halibut. In. Hospitals. Nice. , flavour. 😊!!

Thank you so much, Kevin. Happy to share the experience.

Thank you Ken for joining us and the very kind words. Best wishes from all of us.

Thank you for the great comment jurrasic, really appreciate your kind words. We're so glad to be able to share our lifestyle with you all.

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it Kenneth!

Thanks Randy. The hook we use to shake fish is called a gaff. They come in different lengths and we also use them to pull halibut and cod onboard. Our vessel is a fiberglass hull built by Roberts in 74. We have done extensive upgrades over the years like adding the tophouse, aluminum bulwarks, rigging, replacing bulkheads and the decks.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks thecaptain.

Definitely our main goal, glad that's coming through in the video! Thanks BadBoy.

Thank you so much!

Our pleasure!

Thanks PNW!

That is awesome! There's nothing like seeing the fish in its purest form. Thanks for watching and commenting Alice!

Thanks Roger! We hope you are doing well and have been able to get outdoors and enjoy nature and fishing. Take care and be safe!

Thank you very much!

Thanks! Will do!

Much appreciated, thank you for watching!

Summer is definitely the time to visit! Winter while beautiful, really limits activities and exploration.

Nah, this one is adequate. It's good up to 300 lbs and can easily be toted around.

@@EISAlaska i see,, nice catch

Thanks!

Haha, yeah that was what we ended up doing. Thanks for watching jerome.

Thanks! You too, Mark!

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you, Raven!

We love that too! Really glad to be able to provide our products directly. Appreciate it One Man!

Thanks for coming!

Thanks Mike!

We look forward to supplying your family with the best seafood available. Thanks sumtincrazy for all your support!

You know their Cod is $21 per pound. 35 lbs to Wis is over $500. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Save yourself some time .. GO UP !!

Thanks Jrb!

Hi Connie! Nope, the fish remain the same weight, ice and slime are taken into account on the paperwork side. Nope we haven't planned or talked about a contest like that so far. It's too bad we can't ship internationally. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

That's the idea behind it! Traceability of the product is a big bonus to our fish. The octopus we actually let go this time. We don't currently have a market for it, need to drum up some interest.

Hi J P. We are a family operation. Matt and Tristen (the tall ones) are our boys. My wife is Anita and I'm Len. We have worked together for so long, work gets done without having to give direction or tell each other what to do. We all just work together and it goes fast and done before we know it. Thank you for joining us, really glad you enjoy the videos.

Definitely! We'd like to do more walkabouts, we'll try to get around to some soon.

@@EISAlaska This winter use your SnoDoos !!

Hi ALR. We are family. Two sons and mom and dad. Thanks for watching and good fishing to you.

Thanks Rodney. Great question. We do get a better price, because we are selling direct to the public. It is extra work, but it also allows us to remain a small fishing operation that is value based instead of relying on volume. The main difference is we retain ownership of our product (it is custom processed for us), as opposed to selling the fish to a processor and never seeing it or being involved in the distribution of it.

Thanks! We like to keep it nice and fresh. Yep, we're all related, mom, dad, and two sons.

We clean them white side up and also habit. Back in the derby days, we would bled them and also ice them belly up. It kept any blood from pooling on the white-side, and presented a better product to the buyers.

Thanks Douglas. I believe both beach and purse seine are treated the same. I don't recall any announcements that differentiated between them. There are only a few guys that beach seine here, we would see one in a bay every so often.

Thanks FireGuy! Most seafood retailers pad the price of shipping in the cost of the product. That's why it's common to see halibut at $25/ lb and up. Shipping is part of the cost and we prefer to sell our products at fair, reasonable prices and not hide shipping costs. Another thing to keep in mind is a large portion of halibut is frozen and carried over a year or more. If you ask your retailer where and when it was caught, who caught it and how the fish was cared for, you are unlikely to get an accurate answer. We are proud of the seafood we sell, and always strive to put out the best quality available.

@@EISAlaska LOVE the question and the answer !!

FIREGUY KUDOS to you for such an honest/above board statement IT CLARIFIES !!

We'll do that Mursal! Thanks for the comment.

It keeps the blood from pooling on the whiteside, and gives the fish a nice appearance.

We are getting the weights to grade the fish by size. Ex-vessel prices often go by splits, for halibut it is 10/20, 20/40 and 40 up. Each grade can have a different price. Also the process is pretty fast. It takes us about 45 minutes to weigh and tally 2000 pounds of halibut.

Hi, Jojo. We use pollock, squid, cod, and octopus.

Yep, we did later in the video.

They are both good eating. Halibut is a bit harder to cook because you can dry it out easily, cod is more forgiving and stays really moist, hard to mess it up.

Sorry about that, we've been meaning to get a channel intro video made. So blue sweatshirt guy is Len, my dad. Florescent raincoat is me, the oldest son. Orange raincoat is Tristen, the youngest son. And the one in the blue vest is Anita, my mom. Currently replying is Matt, but both me and my dad reply to comments. Thanks for the comment James!

They were immersed in slush ice, the beginning it looked a bit light but they were plenty cold!

Yep, its actually on the end screen. "Setting and Hauling Halibut Longline - Alaska Commercial Fishing" Also in the fishing playlist.

Hi Jeff, once we get more time we'll look into the logistics of shipping to Canada. For now, feel free to email sales@eisalaska.com and we'll add you to the mailing list for when we do get something in place.

Hi Jeff. Our website is eisalaska.com. You can order online there. We are pretty much out of cod and all out of rockfish ATM, but we will be fishing those in mid- late Febuary. Thanks and have a great New Year!

We hear that a lot, those aren't monkfish, they're Irish lords, or big sculpin.

We didn't keep any this time. Usually used for bait, as we don't have any markets for it right now.

Lol! She's a pretty eco beast. That's 1.8-2/gph at ~1450 rpm.

You couldn't get that out of a 6 cylinder ford 120 even at 1500 rpm what engine are you running ?

@@bigjagjim Lugger 6414 Turbo. That's a John Deere block marinized by Lugger. Straight 6. Quiet and dependable, it's been a great main.

Yes Charles we do. We ship with FedEx and also Alaska Air Cargo to communities they service.

Hi Bob. F/V Fish Tale. She is 35 feet long. Thanks for watching.

You should see us off camera! Sailors would weep.

@@EISAlaska Alaska blush is language.. California Blush is a WHINE !!
