Origin
Ekuk means ‘the last village below’. This can be taken quite literally: it’s the most southern village of the Nushagak Bay, a branch of the Bristol Bay. You can only reach it by boat or plane, making it feel a bit like it’s at the end of the world.
Fish with a story
Every summer Johnna travels with her family to Ekuk to fish for sockeye salmon. What’s on their plate for dinner? ‘Pickled salmon is my favorite,’ says Johnna. ‘Once you’ve had that, you never want something else.’
Fishing Method
The Ekuk fishery is the only fishery in Bristol Bay catching with small gillnets. That makes the quality so outstanding. During ebb, the fishermen in Ekuk throw out their gillnets horizontally in the sea and anchor them on the beach. The fishermen swim upstream during the ebb and afterward pull the nets with their trucks on the mainland. They manually take the fish out of the nets; within one hour the fish are iced.
