A lot of people ask me to recommend fish for them to try.
First we discuss what type of fish they like, cooking style, how often they eat fish, etc.
Then there's seasonality to consider, and recommendations change throughout the year as different species are being landed.
For example: in the spring, you definitely want to get your hands on some Copper River Sockeye salmon, but in September you wouldn't want to miss out on Copper River Coho salmon.
After talking to a lot of customers, working with seasonality, and dealing with the unpredictability of wild fish over the years, I created the seasonal variety box.
It's now my top recommendation all year round, and fast becoming one of our best sellers.
Here's how it work...
You choose the type of fish you prefer - salmon, white fish, or both.
We offer box sizes ranging from 4 to 20 portions depending on your family size and how often you like to eat fish.
The seasonal variety box is offered as a one-time purchase, but was created with a subscription in mind -recurring order every 1, 2 or 3 months. *pro tip: you receive 10% off every box when you subscribe!
All of that makes it really easy and convenient for you, but here's what I think is the best part:
We send a different variety of species every month depending on seasonality, what's just landed, what's good, and what's abundant at the time.
Allowing us to provide species of fish based on abundance is a more sustainable approach to eating seafood. When one species is more abundant in a given year, you will receive more of it compared to a species that maybe didn't come in as strong.
Think of it like when you go to a restaurant and ask the waiter what they would recommend - throughout the year we send you different varieties every month and interesting selections. You might enjoy getting a species or cut of fish that you've never tried before.
Eating seasonal is good for the planet and delicious, but we understand that tracking the seasonality of every fish species can be overwhelming. Leave that part to the experts- it's what we do!
Lastly I know people are sometimes concerned they might not know how to cook a type of fish, so please rest assured that we include recipe cards for each species in every box.

Always Available - Wild fish is unpredictable by nature, and we never know how much we will catch in a given year, or what species will be more abundant. Sometimes we sell out of certain species over the winter. However, we never run out of the seasonal variety box because we have the freedom to pack a different and more abundant species when we need to...and you never have to worry about running out of wild and sustainable fish in your freezer.
Recipes - Not sure how to cook it? No worries. We send recipe cards for every species with every box.
