Summer Seafood Processing Jobs in Beautiful SE Alaska

Silver Bay Seafoods is an integrated processor of frozen, headed and gutted salmon for domestic and export markets as well as sac roe herring and bairdi crab.

Employees with baskets

Silver Bay's primary strength is in its combination of having a state of the art processing plant and favorable logistics to support its operations; competent management and key personnel; an established fish buying system; and ownership by fishermen who represent over 70% of the committed fishing effort.
