The Fish Shop at 4462 Rural Ave
Open by appointment
We follow the tides, so when the fishing’s good, Austin’s on the water. Shoot us a text at 360-927-1604 and we’ll set up a time.
What’s in the freezer?
It changes with the season, so text us and we’ll tell you what we’ve got. Fresh king salmon should be back in May.
Online ordering will be back next season.
Join the fresh fish list and you’ll get first dibs when it opens!
The old Freeman Welding shop
That painted sign over the door isn’t ours. Clyde Freeman ran Freeman Welding & Repair out of this shop on Rural Ave for about 50 years, starting in the 1940s, and for decades local fishermen came here to weld and fix their boats. We kept the sign. These days the welding is Austin’s, between fishing trips, and the freezers are full of wild salmon.
Off Season?
Frozen right off the boat
beats “fresh” from the case.
Wild salmon has a season. If you see “fresh” salmon at the grocery store in the middle of winter, it was either farmed or frozen and thawed somewhere along the way. We hand fillet ours, vacuum seal it and freeze it right after it’s caught. Thaw it at home and it’s about as close to fresh off the boat as you can get.
