To prove it, each pack of fish has a traceability label so you know exactly what you're getting and where it came from, down to the actual fishing vessel that landed it. Sea to Table About Sea to Table: Americans really eat just a small handful of types of fish at home, according to Sea to Table's Sean Dimin, and one of his aims is to introduce folks to great catches like Atlantic skate, redfish or Dover sole. Sea to Table's fish all comes from US wild domestic fisheries and is caught, landed and processed in the US.
There's not as much commitment to transparency and traceability here, but as a bonus, you can tack a ton of other great products on to your order and save on shipping. Thrive Market About Thrive Market: This is less a seafood purveyor and more a wide-ranging marketplace with pantry staples and grocery items, some of which are harder to find. Though options are limited, they do offer a build-your-own-meat-and-seafood box that you can customize to taste.
Most options are wild-caught but not all, so be careful which boxes or individual orders you place if that matters to you. SizzleFish About Sizzlefish: Sizzlefish has one of the largest selections of great seafood you can order online, including salmon, grouper, tuna, bass, shellfish, calamari, smoked fish, crab (soft shell crabs, crab cakes and king crab) and much more.
Everything ships FedEx ground, fresh-frozen and packed with dry ice in recycled denim packaging. Choose either a one-time order or a (slightly cheaper) subscription to be delivered every two, four or eight weeks. How it works: You can choose from boxes like The New Englander, The Kosher Box and The Discovery Box, which features six full servings of fish from sustainable fisheries, including Maine redfish, scallops and skate, starting at just $38 (plus shipping).
But one category has been relatively overlooked in this boom: seafood. The COVID-19 crisis has illuminated just how many different types of food delivery services are out there as we start getting more items dropped off at their door, including groceries and prepared meal kits.
You can order a whole live lobster (or lobsters) as well as lobster tails (frozen and in the shell) or lobster meat (shelled) by the pound. This is not a subscription, so you order exactly what you want and it ships in roughly two days. How it works: There are other offerings available like shrimp and scallops, but lobster is definitely the main draw here.
Sean Dimin, founder of the seafood delivery startup Sea to Table, explains how his company has been Marine Stewardship Council chain-of-custody-certified since the beginning. With the exception of a few species such as lobster, most of the seafood you order online ships and arrives frozen or, in some cases, partially thawed. Sea to Table goes so far as to have each package labeled with not only the species but also where that fish was caught, how it was caught and the fishery management body responsible for its sustainability, all the way down to the name of the fishing vessel if available. If that gives you pause, consider that much of the "fresh" seafood you're buying at a grocery store has already been frozen and defrosted before being laid out on the ice or wrapped in plastic and that frozen fish is just as good for you -- when handled properly -- as fresh fish is.
Wild Alaskan Company About Wild Alaskan Company: As you might have gathered from the name, this company specializes in fresh wild-caught seafood including wild salmon. It is generally thought to be both healthier and more sustainable than farmed fish, and company founder and Alaska native Arron Kallenberg has set his sights on helping American consumers gain access to good, fresh fish. All the fish is caught either in Alaska or the Pacific Northwest with a commitment to sustainability and transparency.
With all the different fish offered, Sizzlefish has the most options for trying new and familiar species and its prices are competitive. A package of 14 4-ounce servings of wild sockeye salmon, for instance, goes for as little as $104. All orders ship for free, but with everything sold in relative bulk, most picks are at least $80. Note there seems to be slightly less transparency and diligence about where this fish is coming from. How it works: Like some of the other delivery companies on this list, Sizzlefish's inventory can be ordered as a one-time purchase for single species, as a one-time variety box or as a subscription.
How it works: Sitka is a community-supported fishery and operates more like a community-supported agriculture organization (aka CSA or "farm share"). This means you enroll in the program and purchase a "share" of the harvest in three- to nine-month intervals receiving deliveries that are -- to a certain extent -- at the mercy of what their fishermen catch during any given month. Regular species include wild Alaskan king salmon, sockeye salmon, coho salmon, keta salmon, lingcod, black bass, black cod, bè hào long sơn Pacific cod, yelloweye, rockfish, spot prawns, Dungeness crab, albacore tuna and halibut.
