Ekuk

Ekuk, a small unincorporated community nestled within the Dillingham Census Area, holds a unique place in Alaska's cultural landscape. Classified as an Alaska Native Village Statistical Area (ANVSA), Ekuk thrives on seasonal fishing. Primarily inhabited by families who set gillnets in the nearby Nushagak Bay, Ekuk caters to the mid-summer runs of sockeye salmon, early king salmon, and late silver salmon. Accessible only by air or sea, Ekuk offers a glimpse into a traditional way of life where the rhythm of life revolves around the bounty of the Alaskan waters. While shopping options within Ekuk are limited, Ekuk Fisheries, a small processing plant located nearby in Bristol Bay, is renowned for its high-quality products.  The area's true treasures lie in its breathtaking scenery and its deep connection to the fishing industry.
