One of the best recommendations for our business came over 20 years ago from our friend Dave Anderson.
Dave is/was a successful businessman whose passion is the outdoors.
He told us that he bought a chamber vacuum sealer to process fish and game and we should get one for our business.
We had been considering adding this service for our guests, but decided neither of us had the extra time to seal fish.
Dave remarked the solution is simple. Sell your guests the bags and let them do it for themselves.
Brilliant!
About ten years after buying our first chamber vacuum sealer, we bought another one. It wasn’t because it was failing, it was because we had a break in and some one stole it.
This winter we purchased our third sealer. Our current sealer is well loved and our fear is a mechanical breakdown could happen during the peak of the season. It would be difficult getting someone to service it in a timely fashion.
For the coming season, it will be nice to have two working sealers available to process your catch.
With ADFG forecasting an “excellent” red salmon run, it won’t be long before the humming of the sealer will be heard and the freezers will be filling up.
Silver!
