Awful experience with them this year. Last year they did a great job but I guess this time they bit off more than they can chew. Multiple fish fillet packaged has air and frost inside on the fish within a couple weeks of freezing. Wouldn’t even sell us enough boxes to pack up all our fish. Told us they could only sell us boxes based on our fish weight that we dropped off. When we tried to show them all our packed fish and how much we still had left , they tried to say we brought fish from somewhere else. When we calculated the weight we turned in versus what we picked up, we ended up with about 14 pounds of extra fish. I could tell that we had fish that wasn’t ours because some of the fillets were very small and we had some portions which we didn’t have. Their response was, “I guess we gave you some of someone else’s fish.” So I guess you can’t trust them to get your fish back. Feel really bad for whoever’s fish we ended up with because clearly they didn’t get all of theirs back. The attitude and unapologetic nature of the interaction was a big turn off towards them. Pay a little extra but save yourself the hassle and heartache by going to Custom Seafood. They took great care of us!

Disorganized, long lines, not very helpful, pulled up with Fish already processed just needing shipping, tried to ask for help, they gave me an attitude and wouldn't answer me and just said get in the long line and we will get to you even though there were clearly two lines. All I needed was a simple answer. I drove down the Custom Seafoods, no lines and took good care of me. Hopefully Ed's can address these items and I'll give them another shot next year and update my review then if it's any different then.

I have used them in the past, with great satisfaction for fish processing. We dropped off 115 pounds in 2 days and will be taking more in the next 4 days. It is awesome they are open til 8pm. They are also known as Tanners. I will post pictures of their fish pricing for those who want to purchase fish instead of catching your own.

This place is amazing!!! Tanner's handled, stored, and processed our salmon all week long. Saved every filet safely with same or next-day turnaround.After 8 days of Salmon fishing we boxed up all the frozen fish filets and flew home. When you really think about it, it's very affordable. Over 150lbs processed for about $200.

Tanner's fresh fish processing. This place smells like fish, whoa!, but man do they do a great job processing and packaging. Portion packing is available. We had four boxes and all were 50.0 lbs at the airport. Will use them again for the next trip.

They did a nice job packaging our salmon. We also bought some frozen king crab and weathervane scallops that were delicious! The lady working there was very informative on how to prepare the crab since we hadn't cooked it before.

I'm thrilled to share my top-tier experience with Ed's Kasilof Seafood, a standout establishment that exceeded all my expectations in terms of quality, customer service, and overall experience.To begin, the team at Ed's took the term "precision" to an entirely new level. I handed over my freshly-caught salmon for processing and they guaranteed the weight to be exactly 50 pounds for ease of travel. This attentiveness to detail, recognizing airline weight restrictions, shows an understanding of customer needs that is far above average. Their commitment to this level of service made my entire travel process smoother and hassle-free, leaving me extremely impressed and appreciative.Ed's also ensured the pick-up process was a dream come true. Knowing my tight travel schedule, they arranged for my processed salmon to be ready early in the morning. This kind of personalized, customer-focused service is rare to find, and it made a significant difference in my day. This is the kind of business that does more than sell a product or service, they deliver peace of mind.Finally, the quality of their processing was second to none. Every fillet of salmon I received was in perfect condition, showing the expert care and handling by the Ed's team. You can tell they take pride in their work, and that translates into a top-notch product for the customer.In conclusion, Ed's Kasilof Seafood is a genuine gem in the seafood industry. Their dedicated team, superior service, and attention to minute details make them more than deserving of a 5-star review. I am confident that anyone who chooses Ed's for their seafood processing needs will be just as delighted as I was. You can trust them to go the extra mile, providing an experience that is simply unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend Ed's Kasilof Seafood and look forward to my next fishing trip, knowing they are there to take care of all my processing needs.

Very friendly staff. They'll process your fish, vacuum seal, flash freeze, and even send it to your home address. If you want it smoked, it's a ten pound minimum. They also have plenty of various seafoods available for purchase.

Now Tanners but the woman that managed the smoking process for EKS still does...the two batches of red salmon from dip netting i had smoked didn't disappoint...delicious as usual

Arrived about half hour before closing. Had 3 fish to vacuum seal and they refused to help.Review updated...Replied quickly to review with detailed explanation. Bumped up to four stars to give benefit of the doubt.

I wasn’t satisfied with the delivery service and communication. I placed an order online and had problems with it.

Good prices and decent processing of fish. Didn't wash the fillets like I requested (still some sand on them) but other than that look good. They almost didn't give me all of my order until I noticed I was missing some fish. They managed to find the additional tray that was in the freezer.

Our guide recommended this place to get our salmon processed and shipped home. Everyone was friendly and seemed very efficient. But when my fished did not arrive home when it was suppose to I called back and the young man had put our order in the will pick up file. I explained to the lady on the phone that I needed my shipped out the next day and my nephew and nephew in law needed there's shipped out the next week. Well mine still didn't show up at home. I was still in Alaska, my partner was home in Missouri and we were leaving for Michigan as soon as I got home. So I called a 3rd time and spoke with an older man, Luke, who straightened out our 3 orders.My advice if you go in with a group and are shipping to 2 or more (we had 3) different addresses, separate your fish before weighing. All 3 of our orders were found under my nephew in law's name, when called and they found is then they found mine and my nephews all filed together. The two have received their fish and mine should ship out this coming Monday. PS my niece said they did get a shipping notice email from Ed's (Also known as Tanner's in Soldotna).

We dropped off almost 600lbs of fish in about 15 different bundles over three days as various group members hit their limits throughout a multiday trip. They processed it all perfectly and let us use their facility to break it into 20 even portions so each attendee could fly home with their share.I bought a smoked salmon and a large octopus for our farewell party. The salmon was gone in minutes. The octopus was huge and took a few hours to cook but once it hit tender it was gone quick and was a big hit. The have great fish products for sale and they did a really nice job processing our order.

Great customer service! We dropped off our fish and returned to a nicely packed box we could take on the plane. We had our first salmon dinner tonight, and it was fantastic! Thank you to the team at Ed's!!

I placed an order online for the alaskan crab legs and they were absolutely amazing. I called in and spoke to Betty and she made sure my order was packaged nicely to get to me in New York. She also gave me some cooking ideas and was very detailed. I can't say enough nice things about her! Placing another order with them😋

This is a review on customer service. I had placed an order online for a friend’s birthday after reading great reviews on Kasilof’ Seafood. There was a problem with the order. It can happen. I spoke with Betty Jean about this and she to,d me she would get back to me. These days, you never even expect to reach a live person, much less have someone call you back, so I wasn’t sure if I’d hear from her again. Sure enough, in a couple days, she returned the call and offered me two resolutions to the issue after having spoken with her boss. She couldn’t have beeen friendlier or more kind. I wanted to write this review as a nod to Betty Jean, who is a shining example of “customer service” at its finest.

I ordered 10 pounds of Alaskan King Crab Legs and it was amazing. I received about 15 legs (I don't remember quite well) and they were huge. I will definitely be ordering again from here. Also, shipping was fast and free!!!

I've been a customer for several years and happily received my latest order this morning. As always, excellent quality wild Alaskan seafood, carefully packaged, and delivered quickly. Their customer service is just as impressive.

We order King Crab Legs, Scallops and halibut in Dec 2020. Package arrived on time and the seafood was amazing. Will definitely order again. Can't beat this, don't buy from grocery store. It is worth the shipping.

They gave my fish to someone else. My dad and I just fished our limit for 3 days in Soldotna. It was tough fishing. Long hours. Great fish! Very red, healthy sockeye. We opened our boxes at home after being processed by Kasilof Seafoods and my dad now has a fifty pound box of someone elses bad quality fish. Pinks and Russian River sockeye that are all faded. My dad also cut 14 pieces of belly meat, they only gave us 6 of them. So, to the people who got our fish, you're welcome.This isn't just about a bad review, the fish we gave them was worth more money. I will be following up on this.

Won't do business here again. After explicit directions to leave filets as is and not cut off any bellies or collars they trimmed all of those favorite parts off! Sad loss for us who prefer the fatter parts of a filet. Also the quality of vacuum seal bags was not great and the placement of the filets in the bags was sloppy. With tails bent and crooked and now frozen that way. Seemed like they skimped and used too small of bags for the wider filets we delivered. We also paid higher prices than anyone else offered in the area for a bad job. I will take the time next year to drive to coal point in Homer to have our fish processed there. They were also hard to get in touch with to try and remedy the problems so I've given up. Not a very professional place.

Amazing service, and extremely fast. Stopped to get 3 reds vacuum packed, and they were done in less than 10 minutes. Friendly staff and great prices!

Great Job on packing our fish this trip. The best part was they opened at 7:30 am on Sunday so we could pick up our boxes before our flight. Great all around.

Since 2004 we have had Ed' s process our fish. Boxed for airlines, stays frozen for our flight to Minnesota and longer. They will fillet to your order. Affordable, easy, staff is outstanding.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Not only were they efficient but the quality of their packaging is top notch. They went above and beyond what I asked of them. Anytime I go down to Soldotna I will have my fish processed here. I can't thank them enough.

Wow, this place has the best, freshest, and delicious sea food. It's not cheap, but the smoking is done by them with their secret recipe. In the retail outlet on the Sterling Highway you will find a big selection of sea food. Mostly frozen and can be shipped from there for an extra cost.
