Fresh fish delivery: questions, answered

Right here, straight from the boat that caught it. We sell whole wild California king salmon, never frozen, delivered to your door the day after it ships, guaranteed by UPS. Reservations for the 2027 season open in the spring.

Yes. Reserve a whole wild king online with a $100 deposit per fish. When yours lands we text you its weight and a pay link, and it's at your door the next day, never frozen.

You don't need a fish counter nearby. We ship fresh, local fish straight from the boat to your door: UPS guarantees next-day delivery anywhere we ship in the lower 48. It's never frozen, and it's at your door the day after it ships.

Every king carries a tag with its boat, landing date and weight, so you know the day it came out of the ocean. It's never frozen, and we text you a photo of your actual fish the day it lands. When you open the box, fresh fish smells clean, like the ocean, and the meat springs back when you press it.

We only sell wild king salmon, caught on hook and line in the open ocean. Kings carry more fat than any other Pacific salmon, and you can see it as marbling in the meat. Which you prefer is your call. Ours has never seen a pen or a freezer.

The boat packs your order cold the day it lands and ships it Monday to Thursday: with guaranteed next-day delivery by UPS. We choose the service, so you don't have to. Up to 5 fish ride in one box, and it's never frozen.

Yes. The price per pound includes next-day shipping to your door. No shipping charge at checkout, and no surprises.

You're buying a fish and an airplane ticket to your front door. A whole king is about three feet long, and UPS has to get it to you the next day, on ice. Getting it to New York overnight costs more than getting it across California, so the price follows the real cost.

Because it's wild. Nobody farms these fish. Finding a king salmon in the open ocean is famously hard, and they're among the hardest fish to catch. Think of us as your fish butler and personal hunter: the boat goes out, finds your king, and ships it to your door.

To eat salmon twice a week all year, about 10. One king gives about 10 meals plus stock, liver and eggs. Some families finish a whole fish in one sitting, and some make one last for months.

As many as you want. It's one shipment per household a season, so your whole order lands together, in boxes of up to 5. Each fish is a $100 deposit that comes off that fish's bill, so 10 fish is $1,000 in deposits. Want more than 10? Text us.

Reserve more fish. The price per pound drops as your order grows, everywhere we ship. Going in with the neighbors on one order to one address gets everyone the lower price.

If you give us $100, we give you a fish. If you cancel for any reason, we keep the $100. If you miss the 2-hour pay window, that fish goes to the next person and we ask when you're next available, with no refund. If the season ends before we get you a fish, you choose: your $100 back, or keep it toward next season.

No. Your delivery ZIP sets your price per pound when you reserve. Each fish's bill is that price times its weight on a certified scale, minus its $100 deposit.

Monday to Thursday only, so your fish never sits in a warehouse over a weekend.

The day after it lands, for fish landed Monday to Thursday. UPS guarantees next-day delivery. Fish landed Friday to Sunday ships Monday.

Never. It came out of the ocean the day before it reaches you. The tag shows the boat, the landing date and the weight.

We text you that your king landed, with its weight and a payment link. Payment is due within 2 hours of that text. Miss it and that fish goes to the next person. You keep your reservation, and we'll ask when you're next available.

Someone needs to bring the box in and get the fish into the fridge the day it arrives.

Send us a photo when you open it. We split the cost of a late or warm box with you. The written terms are still being drafted.

Check it before you pay. Like other fresh-fish shippers, we can't refund a box sent to a wrong address.
