Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fresh Fish Processing?
Fresh Fish Processing is a method by which the fish you catch in Alaska is cut to your specifications, vacuum packed and flash frozen. All fish is processed the same day it is dropped off and ready to be picked up or shipped the next day.
What is Flash Freezing?
Flash freezing (or blast freezing) refers to the process where food items are quickly frozen by subjecting them to extreme freezing temperatures.
Flash freezing is used to quickly freeze perishable food items. Food items are subjected to temperatures well below water's freezing point, allowing the water inside the foods to freeze very quickly without forming large crystals, thereby avoiding damage to the food item itself.
How do I get my fish home?
Tanner’s offers next day and two day shipping options via FedEx and UPS. We also sell styrofoam lined cardboard boxes that weigh 3lbs. These boxes serve as lightweight coolers for your fish to travel in whether it is being shipped or if you are traveling on the airlines with it. Which is accepted on all major airlines.
Do you sell fish?
Tanner’s sells fresh frozen halibut, King salmon, Sockeye salmon, Silver salmon, King Crab, Tanner Crab, Spotted Shrimp, Black Rockfish, Ling Cod, Yellow Eye, Smoked Salmon, and more. All fish is hand picked fresh from Alaskan fisherman and commercial processors.
Can I use Dry Ice?
While dry ice is not necessary after it comes out of the blast freezer, it is available at Tanner’s and we are able to pack up to five pounds in a box for shipping. Please check with your airline while making travel plans to find out if you can have dry ice packed with your fish to fly with.
Can I order fish year round?
Yes! You can order fish any time of the year!
