The Crew
Salmon Sisters is run by co-founders, fishermen and sisters Emma and Claire, with support from their amazing small team. Emma and Claire grew up on a homestead in Alaska’s remote Aleutian Islands. Their family makes their livelihood harvesting wild seafood from Alaska’s pristine and bountiful waters. Since they were young, Emma and Claire have worked on commercial fishing boats; their work on the water and their community of fishermen has inspired their business.
Emma and Claire fish in the Aleutian Islands, Copper River Delta, Prince William Sound, and Bristol Bay – along with their families in a wild and seasonal life. Salmon Sisters is based in Homer, Alaska.
