 Bristol Bay Ice Mission Statement

"To increase the quality & value of the catch for watershed residents through chilling."

Taking advantage of icing bonuses paid by salmon processors often requires that fishers have insulated fish holds, totes, or slush bags for storing ice and chilling fish on board.  To ensure your operation is ready to ice, it's a good idea to check with your processor early to see what their icing plans are for the coming season.

BBEDC owns two ice barges, the Bristol Maid and the Bristol Lady.  We also partner with fish processing companies and third parties to distribute ice in various fishing districts across Bristol Bay.  Please contact the Regional Fisheries Department to find out more about our icing plans for the 2024 season.

 

BBEDC Ice Barge, the Bristol Maid, Sells its Millionth Pound of Ice

icebargeOn August 13, 2014 at 7:45 a.m., the Bristol Maid reached the millionth pound of ice sold for the 2014 salmon season.  The skipper, Nick Christensen and crew of the f/v Sherry Sea purchased the ice.  They received a grocery gift basket and a warm thank you from the Bristol Maid crew for purchasing the one millionth pound of ice this season. The thank you read: "Congratulations! The Bristol Maid would like to show its appreciation to you for being the fisherman to buy the one millionth pound of ice sold for the 2014 salmon season.  We have put together a great gift pack of groceries that includes everything a hard working fisherman needs to stay healthy and well fed (including Rock Stars and coffee to keep you awake on those long hard days).  Thank you once again from "The Ray of Sunshine" and his crew on the Bristol Maid."
