Hanson Fish Co Group Buy #3 - Coho and Spot Prawns
« on: May 21, 2019, 01:17:47 AM »
Salmon fishing off the coast has been slow, and the weather has been challenging so far.  So, just in time for Memorial Day, I'm going to offer up some of my frozen product to the HuntWa folks in our 3rd Group Buy.

Mea Culpa: I would have done this much earlier, but my commercial cold storage situation has been in flux and I'm still searching out alternative options.

The main thrust of this buy are the coho are frozen and vac pac fillets from my late August coho trips, and the spot prawns are Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) and glazed tails from my October spot prawn season.

Check out this link to see the fish from August.  They were big, beautiful coho.

https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,229735.120.html

The frozen and vacpac filets range in weight from 1.0# to a bit over 4.0#.  They are packed in 50# boxes of random sized filets, but I will sell smaller amounts.  If you missed out on the first fresh buys, or didn't want to commit to the big job of cutting and packing your fish, this is a good way to get in on the tail end of that deal.  Very easy to deal with.


*Coho filets, vacpac and flash frozen -
     $11/#, for quantities of 1-49#
     $10/#, for quantities of 50# and up.
  SOLD OUT


Here's a bit about the spot prawns-

https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,207837.390.html

The spot prawn tails will be packed in 2.5# fancy cardboard boxes, 4.0# in a fancy 1 Gallon ziplock  :chuckle:, or for the well-heeled shrimp enthusiast, 48-ish# cases.


*Spot prawn tails, IQF and glazed -
     $35 for 2.5# box SOLD OUT
     $45 for 4# ziplock bag, price on request for case.
SOLD OUT

I also have some smoked Copper River sockeye in 1# gift boxes (our own SitkaBlacktail might have even caught some of these!).  These are filets that have been smoked and sealed in a foil pouch, making them shelf stable for a long time.  I produce these to sell to local businesses that have a national customer base, and move a fair number of them every year.  Gerrard and Dominique (SeaBear) in Anacortes did these for me.  It is the same fish you see at all the gift shops, mall kiosks and fish counters for around $35-$40 a box.  No refrigeration needed. I'm switching over to my own coho for next year's run with a ground-up redesign of the packaging, so I need to clear out the small amount of boxes I have left.  Have a nice appetizer for your Memorial weekend meal, and/or get your Christmas shopping done early!


*Smoked Copper River Sockeye 1# gift box-
     $25 each (tax included, while supplies last)



Finally, I also have a very small selection of Washington Troll kings and Halibut I had fileted, vacpac and frozen by a shore-based processor for me last week.  I have two king filets left, and a handful of 1-ish# skin-on portions.  I also have a few 1-ish# portions of skin-off halibut as well.  These will be a first-come first served, priced as marked deal.  One of the kings was a marble, which has a different look for those that haven't seen one before - but it is a great eating spring ocean fish just like the others. I caught these guys last week out on the Prairie, about 30-35 miles off the coast out of Neah Bay.


I'm looking to be in the Everett/Marysville area Wednesday evening and the South sound/Tacoma area Thursday evening.  I'm open to suggestions on central places and times to meet that is most convenient for the buyers.   

If the interest is there and time permitting, I would be willing to make an E WA run as well.  That would likely be Friday evening and Saturday morning, depending on demand.  For me to take the time to do that, however, I would need to make sure I was moving a fair amount of product.  Otherwise, I'd have to tack on a serious "Delivery Surcharge" that might be more than the fish itself  :chuckle:.  If there was anybody who we could tap to be an Eastern Wa link and meet up with some dry-side buyers, I could help a little with the price on their own order.

Payment can be cash or check.  I can take PayPal as a gift up to $500.  My pricing on these discounted products doesn't support taking credit cards at this time, but if somebody really needed to use a Visa or MC, we can probably work it out after discussing the fees.

Thanks for checking this Group Buy out, let me know if you have any questions.  I know it's short notice, but I wanted to get some fish to you all before Memorial Weekend and as fishing goes - it's the window I have to work with right now.

Thanks again for the interest and the continued support, it means a lot to us small business owners.

If you figure out a tricities drop, I'll take 12#s of prawns and 25 #s of coho fillets.
I'll be bear hunting Thur to Monday so I won't be available to arrange a meet up.
If you figure something out with enough interest by others in the tricities please include me, if not, I completely understand and will get in on the next buy.

If there is a Spokane connection, I'd be interested in Coho and shrimp.  I could help distribute in Spokane but would need to get them here from the coast.

Fyi, for those new to this you will not find better quality at anything close in price or a better captain to support.

Checking in guys, thanks for the kind words and interest folks.  :tup:

I'll get a list going this afternoon on the first post like we did in the previous threads. 

Ill be in seattle on june 12th, but i suppose youll be out fishing at that time, yeah?

@Bango skank
Hard to say at this time, but likely.  Since it's frozen, could we leave your order with somebody?

If you figure out a tricities drop, I'll take 12#s of prawns and 25 #s of coho fillets.
I'll be bear hunting Thur to Monday so I won't be available to arrange a meet up.
If you figure something out with enough interest by others in the tricities please include me, if not, I completely understand and will get in on the next buy.

@92xj
I'll definitely keep you on the list.  If I get over to TriCities, maybe I can leave them with @syoungs with it until you get back?  We'll work something out.  Good luck on your bear  :tup:

If there is a Spokane connection, I'd be interested in Coho and shrimp.  I could help distribute in Spokane but would need to get them here from the coast.

@daddysprad
Sounds good.  I might have the Spokane distribution piece in place, but if not I'll take you up on your great offer.  The more we can move in Eastern Wa the easier it is.

I'd like the Washington Troll caught fillets and 4 pounds of shrimp please. I could meet you in Marysville. Just let me know the time and place. Thanks
@shannon
You got it.  I'll have the meeting place set up soon, most likely North Everett/South Marysville. 

Chris, I will take (2) 4# bags of spot prawns if available  :tup:
@elkaholic123

They're available!  Got you down for 8#.  :tup:

Any idea what time frame you will be avail for pickup in the Marysville area? Id be in for 25# of Coho and 4# Prawns if it works out.
Thanks

@buckmark
Let's make it work out. I'm thinking of posting up in Marysville/North Everett sometime after traffic dies down on Wed Eve.  Do you have a suggestion for a place?  Somewhere that has a nice parking lot and a barley pop on tap would get my vote...

Anybody willing to make a Spokane run??? Pretty please  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Top notch fish from a top notch guy. Y’all wont be disappointed  :tup:

@Dhoey07
I was hoping I'd get to sell you some more fish  :chuckle:.  The Spokane thing is looking possible, just need to get people to raise their hand.  What would you be in for if I could make it over?

Chris

Just sending out a notification to the folks that have expressed interest in the past, especially those that missed out on previous group buys.  The more we can move, the easier it is for me to take another day off the ocean and do more deliveries.  If we get enough interest, you might even find me in Metaline Falls this weekend - tell your friends!  :chuckle:

8# of shrimp minimum.

I’ll do a freezer check when I get home and see what I got left for salmon.

I'm out on this buy but I am just here to say.... BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.  The coho I bought from Chris last year were top notch.  Everything came exactly as described and I got one heck of a deal to boot.  Great guy to work with.
