Our journey at the Hook Point set net site began over twenty years ago, when Mat joined up as a crew member. It was love at first site (pun intended!), and he brought Karen along a few years later.
When we bought the site ourselves in 2020, we wanted our children to experience the rugged, independent, and deeply connected life of a small commercial fishery in remote Alaska.
As fisherfolk, we seek to carry on the traditions of those who came before us at Hook Point - setting nets, hauling gear and harvesting fish by hand with only the help of an outboard motor.
As humans, we strive to live a low impact life, off the grid, while providing sustainable seafood to nourish other families for generations to come.
