A fresh seafood market, Savory Alaska, recently opened its doors at 1405 State Street in Marble Falls. The market officially opened on April 4, but hosted its grand opening ceremony on Thursday, May 28.
Owned and operated by Oatmeal residents Nathanael Ferguson, an Alaska native, and his wife Sarah, a Texas native, Savory Alaska offers several varieties of wild-caught salmon, halibut, cod, rockfish, crab, shrimp, and more from cold northern waters.
According to Nathanael, he grew up working on fishing boats with his family in southeast Alaska, and has drawn upon his long-time connections to the fishing industry to bring in fresh fish from his former home and other natural fisheries.
“Instead of hiring a crew to help him on the boat, (my dad) had some kids to help him,” Nathanael joked with DailyTrib. “I grew up on a fishing boat kind of like kids grow up around here on farms and ranches.”
The business started as a booth at farmers markets in 2018, but the Ferguson family recently made the leap to a full-fledged storefront. It’s all hands on deck, with the Ferguson children following in their father’s footsteps and helping with the family business.
Hours of operation: 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Thursday through Saturday
