From Boat to Table: 5 Generations of Alaskan Fishing Wisdom

Latest Podcast: I Sat Down with Jennie to Share My Best Fish Buying & Cooking Tips

What does it take to turn a fish skeptic into a seafood lover? I get asked this question all the time, and honestly, it starts with quality fish and ends with confidence in the kitchen.

I recently joined Jennie on her podcast for a conversation about my family's five-generation fishing legacy and the practical wisdom I've gained from a lifetime on Alaska's waters. If you've ever felt intimidated by cooking fish—or if you're trying to win over picky eaters at your dinner table—this episode is for you.

A Legacy Written in Tides

My connection to Alaskan fishing runs deep. As a 5th generation fisherwoman, I didn't just inherit a business—I inherited a way of life. My family has spent over a century perfecting the art of sustainable fishing, and that knowledge shows in every fillet we deliver.

But here's what drives me: I don't just want to catch incredible fish. I'm passionate about helping people actually enjoy eating it.

The Secret to Making Fish Lovers Out of Anyone

During the episode, I shared my proven strategies for converting even the most hesitant eaters:

Start with Quality – The biggest mistake people make? Buying fish that's past its prime. Fresh, properly handled fish doesn't smell "fishy"—it smells like the ocean. When you start with premium seafood (like what we deliver at SenaSea), half the battle is already won.

Keep It Simple – You don't need to be a chef. I walk through straightforward preparation methods that let the natural flavor shine through. Sometimes the best recipe is the simplest one.

Texture Matters – Picky eaters often struggle with texture more than taste. I reveal which fish varieties work best for different preferences and how cooking methods can transform the eating experience.

Make It Familiar – Here's my genius tip: incorporate fish into dishes your family already loves. Fish tacos, fish and chips, salmon burgers—start where comfort meets curiosity.

Why SenaSea Is Different

When you buy from SenaSea, you're not just getting fish—you're getting a direct connection to me and my family, the fishermen who caught it. No middlemen. No mystery about where your food comes from. Just honest, sustainable Alaskan seafood from a family that's been doing it right for generations.

My commitment to quality means:

• Sustainably caught fish from Alaskan waters
• Flash-frozen at peak freshness to lock in flavor
• Direct-to-door delivery so you get the same quality restaurants do
• Expert guidance on preparation and cooking (that's where I come in!)
