Locations

Igiak, Alaska

Igiak is where Joseph Montecuco fishes. The village sits in Bristol Bay, in southwest Alaska. Bristol Bay holds the largest wild sockeye run in the world.

The season runs in summer. Sockeye come back to the bay in summer. The fish head up the rivers to spawn. Work in Igiak follows the run.

Fish are flash frozen in Alaska soon after harvest. Boxes are vacuum sealed there. The frozen catch waits for August shipping.

Igiak has no Boone retail shop. No counter sells Boone fish in Igiak. Orders happen on this site. The fish leaves Alaska as a frozen shipment.

Spokane, Washington

Spokane is the pickup city. Pickup orders are ready there in August 2027. Pickup costs nothing.

Pick pickup at checkout. Boone sends the pickup spot by email before pickup week. Boone sends the pickup hours in the same email. Bring your order number when you come.

Bring a cooler for the drive home. The fish is frozen hard at pickup. A cooler keeps it that way on a warm August day. Put the packs in your freezer when you get home.

Pickup suits households in the Spokane area. It also suits anyone driving through Spokane in August 2027. Plan the stop into the trip. The fish travels well in a cooler for a day drive.

Everywhere else

Door delivery covers the rest of the map. The cost is $29 per order. Boxes ship frozen in August 2027.

One order can hold several boxes. The delivery charge stays $29 for that order. The box lands at the address you give at checkout.

Bring the box inside on delivery day. Move the packs to a freezer that day. Keep your order number. The Track Delivery page follows the shipment with that number.

Planning a Spokane pickup day

Pickup week lands in August 2027. Boone emails the spot and the hours before that week. Put the trip on your calendar when the email arrives.

Bring your order number. Bring a cooler with room for your boxes. A 20 lb box is the biggest single item. It fits in a standard car cooler. Drive home and move the packs to your freezer the same day.

Planning a door delivery day

Shipping week also lands in August 2027. Check the Track Delivery page that week. Plan for someone to bring the box in on delivery day.

Freezer space should be ready before the box lands. Clear a flat area for the packs. Sealed packs stack in a pile or a row. The fish goes from the shipping box to the freezer in minutes.

Two places run this whole system. Igiak supplies the fish. Spokane hands boxes to pickup customers. Every other address is served by the August shipment, at $29 per order.
