Fisherman Q&A


Q: Where do you fish?

A: I fish in Alaska from Yakutat to the Bering Sea.


Q: Which products do you sell to Sea to Shore Seafood?

A: I sell Alaska Weathervane Scallops to Sea to Shore Seafood. 



Q: How did you get started in fishing? How long have you been commercially fishing? Any family history in commercial fishing?

A: My father was a Scalloper too, proud to say, it runs in the family.


Q: What sustainable fishing practices/gear types do you use? What is your crew size for these fisheries?

A: Alaska has fishery managements in place to protect the stocks from overfishing.  I take great pride in protecting any species that I am not fishing for, by gently handling them and making sure they are alive and healthy before releasing them back into the clear water. I will fish with up to 2 crewmembers.
