Taku Store

What Taku Store does

Taku Store is the direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront of Taku Fisheries, LLC, a privately held, family-run wild seafood company based in Juneau, Alaska, in continuous operation since 1984. The company sources 100% wild-caught Alaskan seafood — salmon (King, Sockeye, Coho, Pink), halibut, black cod, king crab, Dungeness crab, snow crab, and spot prawns — from independent multi-generation Southeast Alaska fishermen, processes it in-house at a waterfront facility located 50 feet from its own dock at 550 South Franklin Street, and ships it flash-frozen nationwide via FedEx to all 50 U.S. states. It also operates a year-round physical retail store at the same Juneau address and runs an Amazon seller storefront.

The product portfolio spans five core categories: wild fillets, shellfish (crab and prawns), a dedicated smokehouse line branded as Taku Smokeries (cold-smoked, hot-smoked, caviar, canned and jarred smoked salmon), shelf-stable jars and cans, and add-ons such as salmon jerky, salmon spread, and a proprietary rub line. Supplementary offerings include wild seafood bundles, Taku-branded apparel, and gift cards. Pricing is unit-based (per pound, per unit, or per bundle), with free FedEx 2-day shipping on continental U.S. orders of $199 or more.

The business model is predominantly DTC e-commerce, supplemented by a single physical retail location in Juneau and an affiliate program operated through UpPromote. Customers are individual consumers purchasing premium wild Alaskan seafood for personal consumption, gifting, and entertaining; no enterprise or B2B accounts are disclosed. The company has no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed leadership changes, and it relies on FedEx as its core shipping partner for the perishable cold chain.
