Family, Fishing,
and a Dream Come True

We believe that honest work, tradition, and community matter more than anything.

Proudly based out of Petersburg, Alaska: a community as humble, hardworking, and proud as we are. Petersburg wasn’t just where we bought our boat; it became our home port, our favorite place, and the heart of our story.

A Family Affair, Through and Through

Bob has been a commercial fisherman for over 20 years; from lobstering in the Atlantic Ocean; pot fishing out of Kodiak Island; to dungie crabbing in the majestic state of Alaska. We knew when our children started growing up, we wanted them to experience life on the water. We bought our boat, the Emily B., in 2017. Based out of Petersburg, Alaska, we take great pride in our crabbing & fishing operation.

Our boat is a place of work but also a place where memories are built for our family. Whether it is playing Legos, board games, celebrating birthdays, or betting how many keepers are in the first crab pot, we are first and foremost a family. A family who is wanting to provide you with a piece of our hard work; a memory in which you can share with your friends and family….a piece of Alaska.

When you choose Cooper Fisheries, you’re not just getting fish and crab; you’re getting our name, our story, and a promise that what ends up on your table was handled exactly as we’d want for our own.

Thank you for supporting our dream, sharing your table, and helping us pass on a better, more honest way of fishing. When you buy from Cooper Fisheries, you’re not just a customer. You’re family.
