Premium wild-caught sustainable seafood - from the seas to your home
About us
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!

Last month, the WAC team had the opportunity to attend Salmonfest, the annual salmon-themed gathering in Ninilchik, Alaska. Salmonfest is a uniquely Alaskan celebration of abundance, of regionally-sourced cuisine, of vibrant arts & performances — all inspired by and in service of protecting wild salmon and the communities that rely on this incredible resource. Salmonfest is also a hub of activism and education. After all, having salmon is a choice — one that everyday people make every day. In this reel, David Stearns (Assistant Director of Salmonfest) addresses the existential threat posed by the proposed Pebble Mine project.

“My father was a wizard and a warrior. A man who designed and built his own fishing boat, the Mary K, on which he fished for decades and on which I grew up fishing with him. A mad scientist with a tender heart and a love for people from all walks of life. Not only the life of the party but the one who made every moment of every day feel like a party. A master in the art of is-ing — being with intention. He lived fully, boldly, and wildly and was, without a doubt, the most fascinating, unique and inspiring character I’ve ever known. Rest in Peace, Walt Kallenberg. I love you, Dad.” — from a tribute to Walt, from his son 🐟 🦀 Arron Kallenberg, founder and CEO of Wild Alaskan Company Read the full tribute to Walt Kallenberg at the link —> https://lnkd.in/e9mkVMv4 #sockeyesalmon #bristolbay #maryk #alaska

🎥 BEHIND THE SCENES at Home Port Seafoods, a custom seafood processor and wholly-owned subsidiary of Wild Alaskan Company. The experienced Home Port team uses a mix of hands-on knife skills and specialized equipment to process high-quality cuts of fish into perfectly portioned fillets for a variety of sustainable seafood vendors (including Wild Alaskan Company, of course). Typically, the fish fillets you receive in your WAC box are portioned while frozen, cut expertly with a bandsaw — with surprising accuracy and efficiency.

Yup, a person does this! A literal person picks out each piece of seafood that’s packed in every WAC box. Wild Alaskan Company sources wild-caught seafood from Alaska. To get this seafood from Alaska to you, we work with regional fulfillment centers across the country — that’s where your box gets packed with your order, along with compostable insulation and plenty of dry ice for the journey to your doorstep. The WAC team recently had the opportunity to join a fulfillment crew on the “pick and pack” line. We hope we did it right. 😬 🐟 📦 #wildseafood #alaskanseafood #pacifichalibut #sockeyesalmon #cohosalmon #rockfish #pacificcod #alaskansalmon #sustainableseafood #wildsalmon

🎥 BEHIND THE SCENES at Home Port Seafoods, Inc.. You may not know them by name, but they play a vital role to the quality you expect in your monthly box. Home Port is a custom seafood processor whose incredibly talented team uses a mix of hands-on knife skills and technology to prepare high-quality cuts of fish and shellfish. Beyond supporting Wild Alaskan Company, they process sustainably sourced seafood for other vendors and retailers — all to custom specifications. Did you know that last spring Home Port officially became part of the WAC fish family as a wholly-owned subsidiary? Through this partnership, we’ve been working together more closely than ever to continue our collective mission: to accelerate humanity’s transition to sustainable food systems by fostering meaningful, interconnected relationships between human beings, wild seafood and the planet.

You've all seen the videos during Fat Bear Week of big grizzlies up in Alaska feasting on salmon jumping from the depths of a river. This, too, is a bear eating salmon 🐻 🐟 . Although it's not a whole salmon, this salmon is a small piece of a much bigger story. Every week, a very small share of Wild Alaskan Company shipments show up a day or two later than they should've at members' doorsteps. Istead of dry ice and frozen blocks of sustenance, members experience, well, the opposite. A few years back, Carl Minor, who's on the Member Experience team, noticed a problem... and an opportunity. Members were tossing out their delivery that wasn't safe for human consumption. Why not find that thawed fish another home? Carl took the initiative to set up a reference guide, so the WAC Member Experience team could suggest to members a nearby wildlife sanctuary that would accept a seafood donation. Oscar, and many other animals across the country, are now able to feast on WAC seafood, thanks to Carl's initiative. Always empower the team that's closest to the problem to help solve the problem. Do you have any ideas on how we can make this experience even better? Let me know in the comments below. #WildAlaskanCompany #Sustainability #Bears #TeamEmpowerment #ProblemSolving
