What We Do
The Wild Alaskan Company offers an online direct-to-consumer membership service for premium wild-caught seafood. By joining our monthly seafood program, you’ll receive a box of sustainably harvested seafood every month. We source the highest quality seafood from top Alaskan and Pacific Northwest fisheries and ship it directly to your home.
If you’re like most Americans, you probably find it difficult to consistently buy premium grade seafood. Seafood fraud is running rampant in many parts of this country. In fact, a 2015 Oceana report showed that more than 40% of salmon in grocery stores and restaurants was mislabeled.
So, unless you have a trusted source, you’re likely not eating what you think you are. With the Wild Alaskan Company, our goal is to create a fully transparent sea-to-table experience, where you always:
1. Know the source of your wild-caught, sustainably harvested seafood.
2. Have direct and regular access to a variety of wild-caught species from Alaska, which we’ll curate for you based on seasonality and availability.
Think of us as your personal fishmonger!
