Acme Smoked Fish and Kwik'pak Fisheries partner to produce Ruby Bay Yukon Keta Candy fully traceable smoked salmon

All-natural, Gluten-free, Fully Traceable Smoked Salmon

Ruby Bay Yukon Keta Candy, all-natural, gluten-free, fully traceable smoked salmon, is a joint venture between Acme Smoked Fish of Brooklyn, New York and Kwik’pak Fisheries of Emmonak, AK. 

This is not the first time the two companies have partnered to promote smoked seafood, but it is the first time they have worked together to create a branded, value-added product for retail and foodservice.

“We’re really excited about this product and this partnership,” says Acme’s Vice President of Sales, Buzz Billik. “Imagine the oldest smokehouse in America having the opportunity to work with one of the oldest active fisheries in the world. We not only have a great product to sell; we have a great story behind it.”

According to Ruth Carter of Kwik’pak Fisheries, the hot-smoked salmon “candy” was inspired by Yupik Eskimo fishing families, who have been fishing for, and preserving the oil-rich salmon on the Lower Yukon River for some 10,000 years.

“This is really special fish,” Carter says. “It maintains its high oil content and Omega 3s even though it has gone through the smoking process.” She adds, “The Yupik fishing families of the Lower Yukon are thrilled to see their fish reach new markets, and we are pleased that through this partnership, our fishing families can benefit from selling a higher-value product under the Ruby Bay™ brand.”
