For salmon aficionados looking to fill their freezers with fillets of wild Alaska salmon there is an abundance of retail fish available, at prices ranging from $9.99 to $21.99 a pound. At the famed Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle the price per pound for wild Alaska sockeye fillets has been holding at $29.99 since the season began.
But for Bristol Bay fishermen getting a base price of 50 cents a pound for their harvest, the season has been a bummer.
