Wild Alaskan Company comes in strong at our number one spot because, well, they do a lot of things right. Starting with the fact that the company only sources sustainable, wild-caught seafood from the Pacific Northwest, then ending with a great overall experience, from the moment you order to when it arrives and you cook it up. It’s all convenient and easy.
And that’s important because everyone in the country deserves to try fresh Alaskan seafood right? Right.
Aside from shipping anywhere in the USA and having sustainable sourcing practices, Wild Alaskan Company has its process down to a T.
We ordered 12 portions of fish for $145, which puts the price per portion right around $12.
Wild Alaskan Company bills through a monthly subscription or once every two months, but you can pause or cancel anytime. This is wonderful for smaller families that simply don’t consume as much food.
On this note, it’s important to know that they have live chat on their website and a very easy-to-work-with customer support team. Although, we doubt you’ll even have to go that route unless you decide to pause/cancel your shipment.
You can choose from three options: an all salmon box, a combo box with salmon and white fish, or a wild white fish box. Each is available in a 12-piece or 24-piece order.
The amount of fish and quality of the fish justifies the $145 monthly price point. The only downside we found was the inability to order a la carte. But we didn’t deduct many points for that, because of the aforementioned monthly and every other month subscription options.
Because this is our number one choice, we took a deeper dive and wrote a more in-depth review that you can see here.
We really like the ability to order smaller portions, but it comes at a cost, literally. Shipping is only free if you spend more than $99, which is a total bummer. The reason we are repeating that for the umpteenth time is because we got burned on that.
We ordered six portions of salmon and paid $90 for the fish and an additional $80 for shipping. Gasp!
Quick math puts us at $15 per portion, but if we would have ordered another portion of King salmon ($16 extra), we would have qualified for free shipping, which would have reduced the per portion cost to approximately $13 per portion, and we would have had more salmon.
Rookie mistake, but we didn’t notice that at first on their website.
Overall, the product and packaging were great. Lummi Island Wild shipped the fish in a styrofoam container that could easily be reused as a quick cooler for a picnic. That was a nice feature.
Sena Sea stands by its claim that every fish is hand caught and selected for shipment by the company owner, Rich. That’s quite the service!
Sena Sea offers a monthly subscription similar to Wild Alaskan Company, which can save you money, but also allows for smaller orders, which usually bundle two or four 6oz portions. The price varies depending on the type of fish you order and quantity.
We ordered 14 portions of a salmon assortment box for $95 and got free shipping. The price per portion was just under $7. It was extremely economical for fresh fish, but the taste wasn’t as good as some of the other providers.
The non-marinated salmon was delicious, as we’d come to expect from such services, but some of the flavors (like Thai curry and Korean BBQ) just didn’t do it for us. In fact, the Thai Curry would have been tossed out if it wasn’t for a hungry “I’ll eat anything” teenager in the house at the time. We much preferred the regular salmon to the pre-marinated portions.
We could have ordered just king salmon instead of an assortment box, but then the price would have gone up drastically, costing $138 for 14 portions, putting the price at approximately $10 per portion.
Our other big issue with Sizzlefish was that the labels were poorly placed, and many had fallen off of the fish during shipment, so we had to play a guessing game to match the right label with each fish. The labels just didn’t stick well, and that was a bummer because we wanted to know exactly which fish we were cooking.
Update: Since this review, we have learned from Sizzlefish that it has upgraded many fulfillment and sourcing practices as well as updated packaging to NEW eco-friendly coolers.
