Back in the mid-80s there was a big pink run in PS. The netters were getting like a dime or so per fish. One tribe set up a direct sales (it all went on fish tickets, too) for $2 per fish and couldn't keep up with demand. For a while a local tribe down here sold whole chum for a few dollars each. We bought some and got them custom smoked for gifts.

With some set-up effort the netters could sell directly as there seems a huge mark-up when you go through all the middle-men. Custom canners and smokers could also probably do well but it would be locally driven market.

We have, on occasion, gotten flash-frozen salmon from AK fishermen. Good product and good price plus the money goes to the fisherman.
