about us

Red Lake Nation Fishery

Red Lake Nation Fishery is owned and operated by the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe. We use our knowledge of the Red Lakes to your advantage. Our fish products are wild caught by tribal fishermen, who use the wisdom from our elders to harvest in a sustainable manner. We understand the benefits of natural foods, and include that value into the preparation of our fillets, each one done by hand.

BOOZHOO! Welcome to the Red Lake Nation Fishery.

We have provided freshwater walleye to America since 1919. Our business started during the First World War, when we offered a supply of healthy food to American Troops. We supplied our fresh fish once again during World War II. In 1929, the fishery was in full operation by the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe, distributing food all over the United States. Soon, Red Lake Walleye became world famous.

As Native Americans, We Have a Strong Connection with our Traditions.

We respect nature’s waters and the foods that come from the Earth. These teachings have been part of our everyday lives for generations.

We still fish in the traditional ways, using the wisdom of our elders that was handed down from generation to generation. Our fish are wild-caught by tribal fishermen. These fishermen employ local knowledge and ancestral practices to deliver quality fish products in the most natural way.

Our Process

At Red Lake Nation Fishery, our process is rooted in tradition, sustainability, and a commitment to delivering the highest quality fish products. Here’s how we ensure that every piece of walleye, yellow perch, and crappie meets our rigorous standards:

Traditional Methods: Our fishing practices are deeply influenced by the wisdom of our ancestors and guided by modern sustainability standards. We use traditional methods and scientific techniques to monitor and manage fish populations, ensuring the long-term health of Red Lake.

Hand Filleting: Once the fish are caught, they are immediately hand-filleted by our skilled processors. This ensures that the natural quality and freshness of the fish are preserved from lake to table.

Rinsing: After filleting, the fish are placed on a conveyor system that thoroughly rinses them. This step ensures that any residual impurities are removed, maintaining the cleanliness and quality of the fish.

Preserving Freshness: The rinsed fillets are then flash frozen to lock in their freshness. This rapid freezing process preserves the delicate texture and flavor of the fish, ensuring they remain as fresh as the moment they were caught.

Automated Bins: The frozen fillets are automatically sorted into bins based on size. This sorting ensures consistent quality and allows us to meet specific customer requirements efficiently.

Eco-friendly Packaging: We use sustainable packaging materials that protect the environment while ensuring the safe delivery of our fish products.
