She Nah Nam Seafood Market

By David Maestas December 12, 2018


Do you cook your own seafood?  Do you like fresh fish caught from local waters?  For generations the Nisqually Tribe has caught fish in the area and is now offering you a means to buy it at great prices.  She Nah Nam Seafood Market officially launches this Friday, December 14th and you can go get all of the seafood that you desire.  You can get wild chinook salmon, smoked chinook salmon, swordfish, halibut, and tuna.  There are king crab, dungeness crab, shrimp, scallops, native harvested clams and much more.  



Why shop from the Nisqually Tribe?  Many grocery stores catch their fish and store it for several weeks before you buy it.  Other places may get their fish from farms which are fed versus natural feeding.  Some of the processors inject coloring to make their fish appear fresh.  Unlike other distributors, She Nah Nam processes their seafood at their own HACCP-certified processing facility.  She Nah Nam Seafood products are sourced from Tribal Communities first. All of their products are caught, made, harvested and processed in a responsible, fair and ethical manner.


Their name, She Nah Nam, means Medicine Creek — a symbol of the Medicine Creek Treaty of 1854 and their mission of sustaining treaty rights and empowering Native producers.


To order you can visit them 12820 Yelm Highway SE Suite D Olympia WA. 98513

The Nisqually Tribe

Located on the Nisqually River — just 15 miles east of Washington state’s capital, Olympia — the Nisqually Tribe is known as “people of the river, people of the grass.” Living in the watershed for thousands of years, the Nisqually Tribe has a rich salmon-oriented culture.

Salmon is also a mainstay in the Nisqually people’s diet, as well as a treasured resource and source of livelihood. As part of its extensive environmental stewardship programs, the Nisqually Tribe operates fish hatcheries at Clear Creek and Kalama Creek.
