As the Commercial California King salmon fishing season comes to a close, we want to say thank you. 🎣

Thank you to the fishermen who worked hard to bring this incredible fish to shore. Thank you to the seafood markets, restaurants, dockside programs, delivery services, chefs, and community partners who helped make California King salmon available this season.

This fish represents more than a meal. It represents coastal communities, local businesses, family traditions, and the dedication of everyone connected to the fishery.

There may still be California King salmon available in select areas, so check with your local markets, restaurants, and dockside sources while the final catch lasts. Please tag your business if you still have some!

Thank you for supporting California King salmon this season. We are grateful for every partner, fisherman, and seafood lover who helped celebrate it.

Happy Fat Bear Week to the original salmon fans.

California King salmon has been bear approved since forever: rich, wild, seasonal, and worth chasing.

Here’s to the fish that fuels ecosystems, feeds wildlife, supports fishermen, and still makes a pretty unforgettable meal.

Meet Dick Ogg, captain of the F/V Karen Jeanne out of Bodega Bay. 🎣

Dick’s path to fishing began early, shaped by childhood days on the water with his grandfather and a life that eventually pulled him toward the open ocean.

Today, he brings a deeply personal respect to his work, seeing California King salmon as more than a catch. To him, fishing is about responsibility, connection, and honoring the fish from the ocean to the table.

“We are the stewards of the ocean,” he says.

California King salmon season will not last forever, but smoking is a delicious way to carry the flavor forward.

Whether you have a smoker or use a simple stovetop method, smoked salmon is more doable than many people think. You don't need a large outdoor smoker, you can create big flavor with tools many kitchens already have.

It is rich, savory, and perfect for meals, snacks, boards, dips, and special gatherings long after the fresh season slows down.

Preserve the flavor now and enjoy California King salmon later.

Meet Tim Obert, a Santa Cruz fisherman whose life has been shaped by salmon since childhood. 🎣

Tim started fishing with his dad when he was just five or six years old. By age ten, he was tying salmon leaders at Bayside Marine. By sixteen, he was commercial salmon fishing. Today, he has nearly three decades of fishing experience and a deep respect for the fish, the water, and the communities connected to California King salmon.

For Tim, salmon is more than a catch. It is family, livelihood, adventure, and a fish worth valuing.

“Every fish is a special fish,” Tim says. “Every time you’re able to eat it, it’s something different than you can get anywhere else.”

From river to ocean and back again, California King salmon lives one of the most remarkable journeys in nature. 🎣

These fish begin life in cool freshwater rivers and streams, travel out to the ocean to grow and survive, then return to their home river systems to spawn. Along the way, they face changing conditions, predators, and a true gauntlet of survival.

That incredible life cycle is part of what makes California King salmon so special. It is wild, seasonal, carefully managed, and deeply connected to California’s rivers, ocean, ecosystems, and fishing communities.

As fisherman Tim Obert says, “When they’re eating salmon, that’s something special.”
