GOLD RIVER, BC (January 27, 2014)— Skuna Bay Salmon is proud to join the Taste of the NFL at the 23rd Annual Super Bowl ‘Party with a Purpose®’ a culinary experience held at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal on February 1st, 2014.

We are proud to have them as our newest partner and look forward to many years helping families together,” said Taste of the NFL Founder Wayne Kostroski.
By now you probably understand the point of this message - for the next 6 weeks our supply will be reduced and we expect to only be able to meet about half of our normal demand. We apologize in advance of this and we wish there was better news to share. But we feel that the only thing worse than not meeting our customers' demand would be meeting it with subpar salmon.
If there is one thing our Craftsman Farmers are unwilling to compromise on it's their standards - and the Skuna Bay Standard. They have spent years obsessing over details and honing their process so that the chef can expect to consistently receive great salmon in "fresh from the ocean" condition. When they began offering Skuna Bay to chefs they set a standard that was incredibly rigorous: a 14 point criteria of size, external factors and firmness, thickness, texture of the fillet. This standard, which they eventually called "the Skuna Bay Standard" ensured that the fish our customers received would be unmatched in quality, always the best. To ensure that these great fish arrived to the chef in that same condition as when it came out of the water, they implemented their own unique process of harvesting, inspecting, selecting, processing, packing and delivering. This process became known as "the Skuna Bay Process". With this kind of diligence you can see the kind of obsession our Craftsman Farmers have over their craft.

Gold River, B.C. (October 14, 2013) — Skuna Bay, Vancouver Island Craft Raised Salmon is proud to introduce its newest offering: Skuna Bay White Sturgeon Caviar from the Northern Divine sturgeon farms in Sechelt Inlet in British Columbia, the only White Sturgeon Caviar that is rated as a “Best Choice” by Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch® program.
Skuna Bay Craft Raised Caviar came about as a natural extension of Skuna Bay’s relationship with Northern Divine which have for years, provided Skuna Bay with some of its “eyed” eggs that eventually mature into Skuna Bay’s full grown Coho Salmon. Having long established a symbiotic relationship, the next natural step was to introduce Northern Divine’s world class sturgeon caviar to Skuna Bay’s chef customers in the United States.
