Ketchikan | A Fish Story

Ketchikan is more than just a quaint-looking little hamlet on Alaska’s fabled Inside Passage. It’s also a bustling fishing community with a commitment to sustainability and quality that is unequaled around the world. Founded as a fishing town in the late 1800s, Ketchikan quickly earned its reputation as the “Salmon Capital of the World.” More than 100 years later, it’s still a major purveyor of fresh-frozen and canned wild salmon. Each year, the city’s processors send more than 45M lbs of local, wild-caught salmon (and halibut) to grocers worldwide. If you’ve ever wondered how we catch all those fish, what becomes of them after they’re caught, and how we are ensuring there will be enough fish to catch and enjoy for centuries to come, this artful documentary will not only answer your questions, it will send you running to your local fishmonger’s for some wild Alaskan seafood.
