Who We Are:


Davy Jones Seafood is a family-owned and operated fishing company. Each summer, when the weather is beautiful and the salmon return to their icy cold Alaskan waters, we escape the Arizona heat and venture North. From the mouth of the famous Kenai River, we are pleased to bring your family the finest and freshest Wild Alaskan Salmon available! 

Mike Markham and his four sons operate two skiffs along the Upper Cook Inlet by the mouth of the Kenai River. During the salmon runs throughout July and August, when the run is at its peak, we work our hardest to catch and supply you with the best salmon on earth. Our location by the Kenai River and proximity to local processors allow us to make this possible. 

We catch our fish through a process known as set-netting. Our salmon are handled quickly and carefully to ensure premium quality. This all-natural and environmentally friendly style of fishing provides you with the most natural and delicious salmon. 

From the moment the salmon are caught, we pack them on ice and transport them to our local processor for immediate handling. The salmon are chilled to below freezing in specialized ice pack containers where they are processed and prepared for shipment. 

We take pride in directly marketing every salmon that is harvested aboard our two skiffs. Our family is personally involved in every step; from catching to processing to direct sales, ensuring the highest level of freshness and quality.

Alaska Salmon Chile-Citrus Tacos


Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Serves: 4

Ingredients
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 Serrano chile, seeded and chopped
2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
4 Alaska Salmon fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 small (6 to 7-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
2 large, navel oranges, peeled, pithed and segmented
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves


Directions
Combine garlic, chile and 1 Tablespoon oil in a heavy nonstick skillet.  Sauté over medium heat until garlic and chile are soft.  Remove pan from heat; place garlic and chile in a small bowl.  When cool, add water and juice concentrate; blend.
Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel.  Return skillet to medium-high heat.  Brush both sides of salmon with remaining oil.  Place fillets in heated skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3 to 4 minutes, until browned.  Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking.
Turn fillets over and season with salt and pepper.  Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium.  Cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes for frozen salmon or 3 to 4 minutes for fresh/thawed fish.  Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.  Remove skin, if any, and break into large chunks.
