Yukon River opens to Commercial Keta Fishing

We're looking forward to our first delivery of fresh wild salmon from Kwik'pak Fisheries!   Described as "Alaska's best kept secret", Keta salmon from the Yukon travel upwards of 2000 miles from the Bering Sea to their spawning grounds.  This incredible migration means they have to build up extraordinary stores of fat and oil that mean good news for those of us lucky enough to get our hands on some.  Truly, some of the most delicious wild salmon on earth!

Certified sustainable by The Marine Stewardship Council, and a member of the Fair Trade Federation, Community owned Kwik'pak Fisheries works hard to maintain the highest standards of quality.  Careful harvest and handling techniques and plenty of ice help preserve the Keta's "just caught" freshness! 

Call your Plitt Representative TODAY if you want some of this great fish - quantities are limited!

 

Some Things Change, Some Stay the Same

As you may know, The Plitt Company is in receivership. We weren’t familiar with that term either, but what we now know is that receivership helps a financially troubled company by assuring our regular suppliers that they will be paid going forward. We are working under an officer of the court with a fiduciary responsibility to make sure that business is handled properly and to identify the areas that are important to the long term stability of Plitt.  We are continuing to source consistent and high quality product and to serve our customers the best way we can.

The important thing is that the company remains mostly intact. There has been a bit of internal restructuring, but Scooter is still buying softshells, Susan, Luke, Donna and Todd are still the greatest night team on the planet, Gus and Nick are pounding the phones, Cuco and Sylvester are hard at work filleting beautiful fresh whitefish as you read this...
 
We encourage you to call us directly with any questions you might have regarding our current situation. Call our main line (773) 276-2200 and talk with John or Tim, or your sales rep and let us know your concerns. 
 
The ultimate goal of the receivership is to find a qualified buyer for the company. Our plan is to serve the Midwest for another 100 years.
