“Black Gold, Red Gold & Keta” — Three Smoked Treasures of the Last Frontier
This box brings you the best of both worlds: the buttery richness of smoked black cod and the bold flavor of smoked sockeye salmon. Each Sampler includes 10 vacuum-sealed packs (~0.5 lb. each, approx. 5 lb. total) — 2 packs of “Black Gold” sablefish and 4 packs of “Red Gold” sockeye salmon and 4 Packs of "Keta Kandy" chum Salmon.
Black Gold Smoked Black Cod Brought from the frigid depths near Dutch Harbor, this fish is pure luxury from the Last Frontier. Known as black cod, sablefish, or butterfish for its silky, decadent texture, it’s highly regarded among captains and cooks alike. Every cut is hand-prepared by Ketchikan Sam’s — a small coastal operation rooted in respect for the sea, storytelling, and damn good fish.
Red Gold Smoked Sockeye Salmon The crown jewel of smoked salmon. Premium wild sockeye, deep red and rich in flavor, prized for its naturally vibrant color and perfect flake. Bold, smoky, and unforgettable, this salmon makes every bite a celebration of Alaska’s waters.
Keta Kandy Smoked Chum Salmon Meet the most underrated salmon in Alaska. Keta, known as chum salmon—has firm, coral-colored meat that transforms beautifully when smoked. The flavor is bold, clean, and naturally rich in omega-3 oils. It’s shockingly good… which is why it’s one of our favorites here at Ketchikan Sam’s.
Keta is also one of the most abundant and sustainable salmon species in Southeast Alaska. When you choose keta, you’re supporting local fishermen, healthy harvest practices, and the future of our coastal fishing communities.
Serving Ideas: Pair buttery black cod with rice or flake onto warm bread, and enjoy sockeye on bagels, charcuterie boards, or as the star of your dinner table.

The smoked salmon and black cod were truly amazing.
Tender. Delicious. Smokey. Melt in your mouth. Mouth watering. My mouth is watering now just thinking about it. In dip, it is just as good. Smoked salmon dip is something everyone should eat. You could eat this stuff like candy all day long. Completely worth it and it's amazing.

This is REAL smoked salmon, not the factory slop you find at the store.
If you grew up in a fishing family you miss the real deal, and this is the real deal. I bought a case thinking I would share some as gifts and when it arrived I instantly changed my mind ... these are all for me! I'll have to get more for gifts. The salmon is perfectly smoked and sweetened - the cod is unbelievably tender. It all melts in my mouth! If you can tear a piece from my hands long enough to prepare a meal, it makes a decadent smoked salmon chowder; a fragrant smoked salmon spread; amazing topping for salmon pizza; and just a little salmon with cheese is a wonderful afternoon lunch. You can also build an absolutely killer charcuterie board. We freeze the salmon skins and save them as little treats for our dogs who wait worshipfully for their royal snack. The cod skin is delicate and good to eat. Shipping was beautiful and secure and the fish was nice and cold upon arrival. Looking forward to being a repeat, lifelong customer.

Love love love Ketchikan Sam’s smoked fish!
The smoked black cod is SOOO good, with a perfect balance of salt and sweet. The salmon is a beautiful addition to any charcuterie board. I sent a box to friends in California and they received it after 1 business day!

Arrived in California in fine shape, an impressive quantified of lovely, lean smoked salmon and black cod.
I’d order again and it was a gift to me from a Ketchikan native. Very happy with it.
