A. First you pick up your bait and ice before you go out fishing.
(We can also provide sandwiches and soda, if you'd like.) When you've
finished fishing for the day, your Skipper will radio ahead to let us
know how many totes to bring to pick up your fish, and your estimated
time of arrival. That way we are ready to send the truck to the dock
to pick up your fish (or we can send a plane or boat out to where you
are fishing to pick it up). We will either process it right away
(depending on your travel plans) or ice it down until the next
day when we will clean and cut up the fish (to your specs), getting it ready to
blast freeze (we have two blast freezers that go from 60 F to –25* in
seven minutes). We then package and box your fish and store it until
your flight.
When it is ready to go, we apply LACEY ACT labels (according to federal
regulations) verifying that the contents have been inspected and are to
be shipped to the locations you have provided for the shipping labels.
On the day of your flight we load your boxes onto our truck and drive
your fish to the airport to be shipped to your specified location.
WE USE A CAREFUL
STEP-BY-STEP-SYSTEM IN OUR HANDLING OF YOUR FISH TO
MAKE CERTAIN YOU GET TO TAKE BACK THE FISH YOU ACTUALLY CAUGHT

A. Petersburg prawns are also called spot prawns and are
cold-water shrimp that have no vein.
A. Not to ship, but we do sell them locally.
A. Lutefisk is made from air-dried whitefish (normally cod, but
ling is also used), prepared with lye, in a sequence of particular
treatments. The first treatment is to soak the stockfish in cold water
for five to six days (with the water changed daily). The saturated
stockfish is then soaked in an unchanged solution of cold water and lye
for an additional two days. The fish will swell during this soaking,
attaining an even larger size than in its original (undried) state,
while its protein content decreases by more than 50 percent, producing
its famous jelly-like consistency. When this treatment is finished, the
fish (saturated with lye) has a pH value of 11–12, and is therefore
caustic. To make the fish edible, a final treatment of yet another four
to six days of soaking in cold water (also changed daily) is needed.
Eventually, the Lutefisk is ready to be cooked.
After the preparation, the Lutefisk is saturated with water and must
therefore be cooked carefully so that it does not fall into pieces.
Lutefisk does not need any additional water for the cooking; it is
sufficient to place it in a pan, salt it, seal the lid tightly, and let
it steam cook under a very low heat for 20–25 minutes. It is also
possible to do this in an oven. There, the fish is put in an ovenproof
dish, covered with aluminum foil, and baked at 225 °C (435 °F) for 40–50
minutes.
When cooking and eating Lutefisk, it is important to clean the Lutefisk
and its residue off of pans, plates, and utensils immediately. Lutefisk
left overnight becomes nearly impossible to remove. Sterling silver
should never be used in the cooking, serving or eating of Lutefisk,
which will permanently ruin silver. Stainless steel utensils are
recommended instead.
A. Yes, we ship for a minimum order of 5 lbs. (Lutefisk comes in
2 lb. packages.)
