The Harbor Fish Company is anchored in the maritime towns of Gig Harbor, Washington, and Juneau, Alaska.
Our connection to the sea has taught us a thing or two about fish:
it’s good for the planet and it’s good for you.

Product description: Although a little lemon and pepper goes a long way, we felt it was necessary to curate a special rub to accompany our wildly delicious salmon. The Deckhand's Delight Salmon Rub augments the natural flavor of salmon with a hint of sweetness, citrus, and warmth. This recipe was specially designed by Windy from For The Love of Spice - a local spice shop in Gig Harbor. Windy's creativity and palette shine through in this special seasoning blend. Try it! We think you'll love it.
Use: Sprinkle across salmon to create a light seasoning blanket. Try dry or try drizzling a light dose of olive oil prior to sprinkling the rub. Be sure the rub is well-mixed so that you capture all the wonderful flavors.
Size: The rub is offered in a 4oz zip-lock pouch.
Ingredients: Sugar, salt, onion, spearmint, lime peel, orange peel, red bell pepper, chipotle, cumin, and corriander.
Product description: Planking is a traditional Northwest-style of cooking using aromatic pieces of wood. Our gill planks are cut from untreated, local Pacific Northwest Alder Wood. Grilling salmon with an alder wood plank adds subtle flavors to the fish and allows the fish to gently steam as the plank acts as a barrier between it and the heat source.
Use: Planks are intended to burn - that’s what provides the smokey, aromatic flavors. Therefore, a plank only lasts for one to two grill sessions.
Sizes: The small planks measure 7” in length and are intended for single portions. The large planks measure 20” in length and are intended for multiple portions or a single fillet.
Preparing a Plank: Presoak a plank in water for 30 minutes to two hours before use. Pat plank dry with paper towles and spray-coat or lightly oil one side of the plank. Season salmon lightly and place on oil-sided plank. Preheat one side of the grill to medium-high, with no heat on the other, indirect side. Place the planked salmon on the grill on the indirect side and close lid. Turn heat down to medium. Check salmon frequently for doneness after 10 minutes. Salmon changes from translucent to opaque as it cooks and will continue to cook after it is removed from the heat. Cook just until opaque throughout. Enjoy!
