We are your local Link to the Food Chain

 

Hudson Fish Company is a commercial fishing business serving customers in the Berkeley Area for over ten years.

Family owned, Hudson Fish offers the finest troll-caught Wild King Salmon, California Halibut, Albacore Tuna and Dungeness Crabs direct to the public via three local Farmers' Markets. The fish are handled with extreme care, bled, gilled and gutted immediately after being caught. After cleaning the fish are refrigerated and stored at 32° F until the boat returns to port.

Our fish are caught with hook & line and traps, never with nets. This assures the best quality (no bruising from netting, the fish get to the boat alive), and also no impact on non-target species or the ocean floor.

Yvette and Mike Hudson are directly involved in a multitude of issues regarding the sustainability and restoration of our Salmon Runs as Directors on the Board of the Small Boat Commercial Salmon Fishermen's Association, and also work diligently through a network of environmental organizations for the future of our oceans. Please visit our "Links" page for more information on the challenges our oceans face in these modern times.

If you are looking for seafood of the highest quality, caught in a sustainable way - you came to the right place!
Have an excellent day,
Captain Mike & Skipperette Yvette

Important Updates:

2008 Salmon Season is officially closed

Federal regulators have decided on a total shut-down of all King Salmon fishing along the CA & OR coast. This means Hudson Fish will not have any salmon for sale this year - and possibly none for 2009 either. We will try our best to present you with alternatives such as White Seabass, Halibut and Albacore Tuna for the summer when ever these fish are in season & in our local waters. Please visit our news-page periodically to stay updated on the situation.

And what ever you do: Don't eat farmed Salmon - it's bad for you and the environment!!
