Morningside Farmers Market: Introducing Doug's Wild Alaska Salmon

Morningside Farmers Market welcomes Doug and Melissa Resetarits, owners of Doug’s Wild Alaska Salmon, to the MFM family. In this interview, farmer Mark Lui from Crystal Organic Farm talks with Doug and Melissa at market.

“Based in South Carolina, Doug’s Wild Alaska Salmon makes fresh-frozen salmon and halibut available locally in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. Being the fisherman, we can provide you with the highest quality flash-frozen wild salmon. Doug’s Wild Alaska Salmon is owned and operated by the Resetarits family, three generations of Alaskan fisherman spanning a 35 year period.

Grandpa Dan is a South Carolina resident who flies north each summer to join the boys for the harvest. Dad Doug, a part time Carolinian, is a 30 year Homer, Alaska native, a licensed Coast Guard captain and former Bering Sea crabber of “Deadliest Catch” fame. All four boy’s began fishing salmon with Dad when they were 10, and together we operate four, 32 foot fishing boats during June and July. Bristol Bay is the largest wild “red salmon” or sockeye salmon fishery in the world. Certified sustainable, natural, and robust, the Alaska salmon fisheries are known worldwide as a model of successful fisheries management and economic prosperity.”
