ComFish Alaska

ComFish Alaska is Alaska's longest running fisheries trade and forum show bringing together gear vendors, government agencies, and nonprofits in fishing.

ComFish is Alaska's Premier Commercial Fisheries Trade Show. The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce has organized the trade show for over 40 years. The show brings vendors involved in the commercial fishing industry to the community every year. Our gear vendors are on hand to showcase their products and answer questions. We have Government agencies in attendance to answer your questions on regulations, enforcement, loans, etc. We also have non-profit organizations that help keep the sector informed on conservation issues. The Chamber of Commerce brings the forums to ComFish every year as a community service. The forums spotlight 10-12 topics each year and are well received by the industry. In years past, we have also been successful in attracting our State Senators and Directors of State and National agencies to answer questions from attendees.
