Get To Know Our Family
Our story begins in 1982 when our Patriarch, Ron Hoffman began commercial fishing with his adoptive family in Bristol Bay, Alaska. After a couple of years fishing for this family, he decided to invest in his own permit. At the young age of 15, Ron was operating his own set net site. Year after year, Ron began to grow his operation into what is now Westside Wild Salmon.
Along the way, Ron married his incredible wife, Crystal, and they had three children, Jaclyn, Morgan, and Calvin. Now, all the children have grown up and have families of their own! Each summer, the family gathers from all over the country to get back to their Alaskan roots.
As the family grows, so does the business. Westside Wild Salmon is expanding into the direct-to-consumer sales market. With regional sales in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Virginia, we are able to bring fresh, clean, nutrient-rich Alaskan salmon straight to your door. We aim to bring you the highest quality salmon you can get your hands on.
You can help us keep our family tradition thriving while we help keep you healthy and happy.
