One of the most popular items in our deli is Skuna Bay Salmon, so much so that our delis actually sell more Skuna than our Seafood Department! It's hard to keep up with customer demand for this premium fish, available exclusively at Kowalski's and top local restaurants. Available fresh year-round, it's harvested to order and quickly delivered to the Twin Cities to ensure it's at least seven days fresher than any other salmon selections in town. Our deli team was recently invited to visit Skuna Bay off of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. There they observed the craftsman farmers using farm-to-table, nonindustrial techniques that protect both the natural glacier-fed waters of the Pacific Ocean and the native fish populations. These farmers/fish lovers live on the farm 24/7 and work daily to ensure that the marine environment stays as pristine as when the farm was established.

Once fish are harvested from a Skuna site, that ocean location is allowed to rest and regenerate before being restocked. Unlike much farm-raised fish, Skuna salmon live in a low-pen-density environment and eat a diet of fish – just as they would in the wild – as much as can be managed without putting undue pressure on other fish populations. Upon harvest, Kowalski's salmon is hand-selected and specially packaged to ensure that ours is the best quality salmon you'll find anywhere in the Twin Cities, guaranteed.
