History/Philosophy: Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Dave could always be found playing on or around fishing boats. Dave learned of his love for the sea and mastered fishing the “old way.” He began fishing commercially at a young age and then started canning his albacore in 1970.

Dave’s employs the most ecologically responsible methods available to harvest his seafood. The process of harvesting both Dave’s salmon and albacore are among the most primitive and discretionary methods when it comes to selecting the best! Dave’s standards are strictly hook and line, also referred to as “trolling.” This technique allows fishermen to hand select and properly store each fish to insure freshness and purity.

In overseeing quality and care from the ocean’s catch to the delight of the eater, Dave’s high standards demand only the best hook and line seafood from his fleet, Dave’s fishing fleet covers a stretch of area from Big Sur to Alaska.
