Homer Spit · Cook Inlet, Alaska
Wild Alaskan fish,
landed and processed
on the Homer Spit.
Alaskan Fish Factory offloads tenders and buys from fishermen across Cook Inlet and runs a full-scale Pacific halibut and wild sockeye salmon line — timed so the crew is on the floor and ready the moment the fish lands.

What We Do
A full-scale line at the edge of the water
We bridge supply from the docks of Cook Inlet to the customers who depend on consistent, high-quality Alaskan seafood. Boats land, we offload, and the fish moves straight onto a production line built to handle volume without giving up on quality.
The plant has been working the Homer waterfront for decades and runs today as a 7Seas facility — a steady, dependable supply of wild Alaskan fish.
Wild Sockeye Salmon
Cook Inlet reds, processed fast to lock in the quality of the run.
Boat Offloading
Coordinated so the crew is staged and ready when the fish lands.
Cook Inlet Quality
Some of the finest wild sockeye on earth
Cook Inlet is one of the most productive sockeye grounds in the world. Cold, clean, tide-driven water grows a firm, deep-red fish — and because we're right on the Homer Spit, the distance from the fishing grounds to our line is measured in hours, not days.
That proximity is the whole game. Fast offloading and fast processing mean the fish arrives to our customers the way it came out of the water: clean, cold, and at its peak.
Where We Are
The Homer Spit
A 4.5-mile finger of land reaching into Kachemak Bay, the Homer Spit is one of the most striking places to land a fish anywhere in Alaska. It separates the calmer bay from the reach of Cook Inlet — the divide that feeds one of the great sockeye fisheries on the planet.
We're at 800 Fish Dock Rd, right where the boats come in. More on the spit, the runs, and the season is in our field notes.
