Fish and Halibut Processing
Your Catch, Handled with Care: Professional Fish Processing
After the adrenaline of the hook-up and the triumph of the landing, the most common question every angler asks is: “How do I get my catch home?” At Luxury Homer Adventures and Kenai Riverside Resort, we understand that your harvest is more than just food—it’s a trophy of your Alaskan journey. We’ve spent years perfecting the logistics of fish handling to ensure that your Salmon and Halibut arrive at your dinner table as fresh as the day they were caught.
For Our Kenai River & Soldotna Guests
If you are staying at our Kenai Riverside Resort or joining one of our guided trips on the Kenai River, we make the process incredibly simple. We maintain our own private, professional-grade fish processing facility right in the heart of the Soldotna area as well as work with local processors when necessary.
Our processing rates are $3.00 per pound which includes all aspects of processing the catch. Our team will expertly:
Portion your catch into meal-sized fillets. Vacuum-seal the fish in heavy-duty, high-mil plastic to prevent freezer burn. Freeze the catch to lock in the peak flavor and texture of the meat. Store until your ready to leave or have it shipped (more on that later). Package it in airline approved cold-storage boxes for your flight or shipment
Processing in Homer
For those spending their time on the salt in Homer, you will be met at the boat to have your catch picked up and the same process as above takes place. At $3.00 per pound, you catch will be Portioned into meal-sized fillets. Vacuum-seal the fish in heavy-duty, high-mil plastic to prevent freezer burn. Freeze the catch to lock in the peak flavor and texture of the meat. Store until your ready to leave or have it shipped (more on that later). Package it in airline approved cold-storage boxes for your flight or shipment
If you are one of our guests staying at both our properties we will work with you to combine the catch in Homer and the catch from the rivers so that all the fish is ready to go to the airport or be shipped in one shipment. We’ve been doing this process for years now and have it down to a science.
