Loki Fish Company

This year both Pagliacci and Loki Fish Company are celebrating thirty years of business in Seattle! In 1979 Pagliacci sold its first slice on The Ave in the University District. Meanwhile, off the coast of British Columbia in the Clarence Straight, local fisherman Peter Knutson was bringing in his first harvest of wild caught salmon for his new business, Loki Fish Company. From the beginning, Loki Fish Company has promoted sustainability and a hands-on approach to their family operation. Salmon caught aboard their two boats, the Njord and the Loki, are gillnet-caught to reduce the number of non-targeted species caught in their nets. As soon as the fish is brought on board, it’s cleaned and stowed in a refrigerated sea water hold for freshness until it arrives for sale. Loki salmon is sold directly to the customer at a variety of Seattle farmers markets or right off the boat at Fisherman’s Terminal.

Another way to enjoy the bounty of Loki Fish Company is to try it on our latest seasonal pizza. We’re all about using fresh local ingredients, which is why we proudly feature Loki fresh caught and smoked Coho Salmon on our Salmon Primo ? this batch of Coho was caught in the first weekend of July from the same straight that the Knutson family began fishing three decades ago! Peter and his son Jonah are up in Alaska running the straight right now for the next harvest but luckily Peter’s second son Dylan was around to tell us about the latest catch. On July 25th, look for Loki’s special deal on fresh halibut and rockfish at all of their farmers market stands!
