Founded in the late 1980s by Phyllis Mueller, a school teacher in Klawock, a tiny fishing town on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska, the site of Alaska's first salmon cannery, opened in 1878. Her grandson Mathew Scaletta, a chef trained in Chicago and Portland, now runs the cannery. Wildfish is one of the only actual craft canneries in North America, with no co-packers. Fish is bought directly from local fishermen and divers, smoked over alderwood, and hand-packed. Named best canned salmon in the US by Wirecutter.
