The Salmon Sisters—Claire Neaton and Emma Laukitis—grew up fishing the waters of Alaska on their family’s commercial fishing boats. From the Aleutian Islands to the Copper River Delta and Prince William Sound, they spend their summers discovering the magic of the Alaskan wilderness and respectfully harvesting wild seafood from its pristine waters. Over their years spent fishing, foraging wild plants, and growing vegetables in their garden, they’ve figured out how best to nourish their bodies with whole foods and, specifically, nutrient rich Alaska wild salmon. To learn more about how to eat cleaner and live better, we tapped the Salmon Sisters for insight on the gear they depend on—like XTRATUF boots—to harvest fresh ingredients.

The XTRATUF x Salmon Sisters collection is a perfect pairing of two brands with deep connections to Alaska. This collaboration was created in partnership with original designs by two Alaskan fishermen (Emma and Claire), born and inspired by the wilderness of Alaska and the sustainable fisheries of the North Pacific. Salmon Sisters products are designed in Alaska, inspired by maritime tradition, and made for a community of fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts.
