MYTH

Farmed and wild-caught fish aren't that different

        Reality: Wild-caught fish is much better for you, for the environment, and for the U.S. economy. Wild-caught fish is naturally nutrient rich and full of flavor, and it does not contain antibiotics, GMOs or additives like farmed fish does.

        While wild salmon live in the rivers and ocean, feeding naturally and gaining strength, farmed fish are raised in overcrowded pens where they live a sedentary existence and are prone to parasites and disease. Wild Alaskan Company fish is wild-caught in Alaska and processed in the United States, whereas farmed fish is typically imported from overseas.

          MYTH #2

          "Fresh" seafood is better than frozen

          Reality: Unless you live somewhere where you can buy fresh fish right off the dock, frozen seafood is your best bet for quality and taste. The “fresh” fish sold in grocery stores has often been sitting on ice for days.

          Wild Alaskan Company seafood is frozen at the peak of freshness, sealing in the nutrients, flavors and textures that make it so good.

              MYTH #3

              Seafood is hard to cook

              Reality: Home cooks of any level can make easy, great tasting seafood dishes without worry or fuss. A portion of fish simply seared or grilled, paired with a veggie or side is an excellent and repeatable meal. Some of the best fish dishes are often the simplest.

                  MYTH #4

                  All wild seafood is the same

                  Reality: When you buy Wild Alaskan Company seafood, you can rest assured that it is sustainably and ethically sourced and processed in the USA.

                  When buying seafood from a grocery store it’s often difficult to know if it was caught in a sustainable fishery and how it was handled, even seafood labeled as “wild caught.”

                  Wild Alaskan Company thoroughly vets the sources of its seafood to ensure they’re caught in sustainable, well-managed fisheries, frozen at the peak of freshness, and handled carefully all the way to your doorstep.

                      Is my fish fresh or frozen?

                      Our seafood is frozen to lock in its flavor and nutrients until you're ready to enjoy it. Unlike seafood at the store that can be sitting out for unknown lengths of time or thawed on arrival - gradually degrading in quality and flavor until it’s purchased.

                      How does the fish stay frozen? Do I have to be home for delivery?

                      No. Your fish arrives frozen in an eco-friendly, insulated box with the perfect amount of dry ice to keep your seafood frozen until the end of your scheduled delivery day.

                      Why a membership?
