Greetings! My name is Abe Rovansek and I've been commercial fishing in Alaska since I was 19. I've had, and continue to have, fantastic captains and mentors, and so last summer, I bought a boat with the idea of bringing the best of Alaskan fish direct to Central PA.
My boat is named the Lila Aurora, after my wife, and my business is Kodiak Rush.
I am involved in every step in the process, including catching the fish, filleting and freezing, moving the frozen filets to the Lower 48.
I am also dedicated to sustainable fishing practices. Commercial fishermen work hard because we love the work and we want the industry to continue for generations to come.
If you are interested in supporting a small business, there aren’t many smaller than Kodiak Rush. Thank you in advance for your support.
A note about shipping:
We offer free delivery by the fishermen themselves from our Port Matilda, PA and Forest Hills (Pittsburgh) homes.
For orders from farther afield, we are working on our shipping process. We will offer shipping as soon as we are sure your fish will arrive solidly frozen and in peak condition.
We are Pennsylvanians who fish in Alaska, and bring our fresh catch back home to sell directly to our neighbors.
We strive to catch, fillet, and bring to you the freshest Alaska fish. In addition to our own catch we work with other small-scale fishermen and small, Alaskan businesses to bring you a wider variety of fish and a steadier supply than we can catch ourselves. Our offerings change regularly so check in regularly or sign up for email updates.
