Leader Creek’s Goal
Leader Creek strives to achieve the highest quality in their wild Sockeye fillets and deliver it to the end user in a condition that closely resembles the salmon as they come out of the water. The processing facilities are situated on the fishing grounds to insure that the product is frozen or in flight within hours of being caught, locking in freshness and capturing the many great qualities and benefits of the wild Alaskan Sockeye salmon.
Sustainable Resource
Without a sustainable resource they have no future. They endorse fishing and management practices that promote healthy sustainable salmon runs. They see the necessity for active environmental stewardship so the wild Alaskan salmon flourishes for generations to come.
