Behind the Catch with Casey Coupchiak
In this episode, we mug up with Casey Coupchiak—BBNC shareholder, fisherwoman, and owner of Yup’ik Girl Seafood! Casey shares how she turned her passion for commercial fishing into a thriving small business, delivering sustainable, wild-caught Bristol Bay salmon straight from her boat to her customers’ doorsteps. Learn about her journey and the importance of Alaska Native representation in the fishing industry.
“I want to see the younger generations running boats and fishing our ancestral waters and continuing on this journey that has enriched my life so much.”
