Fresh Seafood Packages (Bi-Weekly Availability)

$60.00 - $90.00

Raising saltwater shrimp and fish on our farm is already tough enough with 3 species. We've always been asked to offer other fresh fish, whether it be farmed sustainably here in the US or caught sustainably on the coastlines.


We are now offering our first attempt at a fresh seafood package. Because we can only control the availability of saltwater shrimp, yellow perch, and tilapia at the farm, we will check each week what the freshest fish we can get from our partners are and provide that in the package!


If you do not like a particular fish, please let us know in the comment section when you place the order and we will accommodate the best we can.


There will be 3 packages available on a bi-weekly basis. You can order multiple dates at once to get orders those weeks. They will be delivered complimentary every Saturday. If it gets popular enough, we will offer delivery on Wednesdays as well. So please help us spread the word.

  • 1lb of saltwater shrimp
  • 2lb of fresh fillets of the following options: tilapia (farmed), monkfish, Atlantic salmon, Pacific cod
