About Mike and Cathy: The Virgin Bay Seafood Origin Story
Mike Stoltz is a lifelong Alaskan fisherman. Cathy Stoltz grew up in Tennessee.
The two met in 2009 when Mike, a widower with two teenagers met Cathy in Napa, California. Within a year, the newlyweds were living in Alaska and Cathy was adjusting to life with moose and temperatures half of what she’d grown up with.
When Mike began visiting Tennessee he saw an enormous need for the fresh and wild Alaska seafood Alaskans take for granted. Nothing farm-raised can ever mimic the nutritional value and flavor of wild Alaskan seafood, and with modern fishing and handling techniques, Virgin Bay Seafood can bring that quality to every home in the United States.
“We founded Virgin Bay Seafood because of our family’s love of wild Alaska Seafood, and our desire to provide the opportunity to share this bounty with the rest of the country.”
Our sustainably caught fish is either caught by Virgin Bay Seafood and custom processed, or from our connections in the fishing families of Alaska.
All of our fresh Alaska seafood is individually caught and processed with the highest attention to quality in mind.

Where is Virgin Bay, Alaska?
Located on the Prince William Sound, Virgin Bay is adjacent to the town of Tatitlek, Alaska. According to the 2010 census, Tatitlek is home to 88 people, and is in the Valdez-Cordova census area of Alaska. At Virgin Bay, the Chugach National Forest meets the Prince William Sound, and the subsistence lifestyle continues to be an important part of the culture and economy in this area. Prince William Sound’s complex coastline, protected waters, and close proximity to nutrient-rich Gulf of Alaska waters support a broad array of marine life, including all of the wild Alaskan seafood products sold here at Virgin Bay Seafood.
