Seabear Smokehouse
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
SEABEAR SMOKEHOUSE
If smoked fish is your jam Seabear Smokehouse needs to be on your radar. What began with one fisherman making his family’s smoked salmon recipe in his backyard smokehouse in Anacortes, Washington morphed into a fresh seafood market that delivers the flavors of the Pacific Northwest to all 50 states.
Unlike many other companies, Seabear smokes its fish in-house in small batches. The company developed an innovative Gold Seal™ Pouch that preserves the salmon naturally, allowing it to be shipped easily throughout the country.
There are a wide variety of smoked options, from the Brown Sugar Bourbon smoked salmon to a smoked salmon appetizer sampler and smoked lox. For holiday parties, the party in a box or Copper River holiday fillet are top choices. Less traditional (but ridiculously delish) are the smoked salmon mac and cheese or smoked salmon ravioli.
Vital Choice
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
VITAL CHOICE WILD SEAFOOD
There are so many things to look out for when buying seafood. Vital Choice Wild Seafood and Organics sources and ships fresh seafood from an online market you can trust. Good food has a positive impact on our wellness and how it’s sourced impacts the wellness of our planet.
Founded in 2001 on the premise that wild Alaskan salmon is nature’s most perfect food, Vital Choice has grown into a trusted source of premium wild seafood from healthy, well-managed fisheries around the globe with only sustainably caught, wild seafood, which is nutritionally superior to farmed fish and free of the antibiotics, pesticides and GMO feeds used on fish farms.
The company donates a portion of its profits to planet-protecting programs from sourcing to shipping. Some big names in wellness are advocates—Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Nicholas Perricone.
Red's Best
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
RED’S BEST
Boston’s Red’s Best offers a direct connection to the fishermen that fish the waters off of New England. The fresh seafood market, started in 2008, sells primarily to distributors that supply the best restaurants in the world. However, through a new eCommerce platform, home chefs now have access to the same top fish that top chefs source from.
The company is known for its sushi program. By law, sushi fish has to be frozen before consumption, and Red’s employs special freezers that freeze the fish at the optimal temperature to retain texture and flavor. In fact, they even ship to the famous Tokyo fish market.
Consumers can curate a custom box of seafood or choose from set boxes like the Holiday Seafood Feast or Fish Market Favorites. Red’s also offers live shipping of lobsters, oysters and other raw bar favorites. Best of all, everything includes free shipping.
Have Fun…with home entertaining the safer way to socialize these days, having access to the best seafood and turnkey party boxes from some of the country’s top fishmongers makes throwing the perfect dinner party easier than ever.
