2. FLASH-FREEZE
At the conclusion of a fishing trip, the king crab is sorted and cleaned. All king crab is cooked to perfection before being dipped in a quick freshwater rinse, which creates a protective glaze. The final step for fish and king crab is a flashfreezing process that locks in perfect taste and texture.
3. PACK
Your order is packed in insulated, eco-friendly boxes with liners, air cushions and more than 5 lbs. of dry ice to keep every item in great condition until it arrives at your door the next day (and if you’re not home it will stay frozen until you get home from work, too).
4. SHIP
We ship everything overnight because we insist on quality — and the best way to guarantee perfection is to minimize touch points and maintain temperature. Any opportunity for preemptive thaw (think: your grocer’s chill chest or a three-day shipping estimate) degrades the quality.
5. ARRIVE
Everything comes individually frozen so you can thaw what you like and keep the rest frozen. We ask that you recycle or reuse the packaging materials please.

CRAB LEGS + PILSNERS
FISH AND CHIPS + PALE ALE
Nothing says “fun get-together” like a table full of crab legs waiting to be devoured! Wash down the exquisitely rich, buttery decadence of king crab legs with a crisp pilsner. Together, each elevates the other’s flavor, taking your next crab feast to a whole new level.
Since this dish’s fish is typically fried in a thick batter, it’s best to balance that with a lighter, easy-drinking beer like a pale ale. Plus, the floral and citrus notes in a pale ale complement the lemon and vinegar you’ll spritz atop your fish.
SALMON + IPA
PRAWNS + HEFEWEIZEN
Because salmon is such a versatile fish, it’s ideal for both special celebrations and weeknight dinners alike. Because of salmon’s rich flavor, an IPA is a beautiful pairing. The bitter hops in the IPA slice through the fattiness of the fish without totally overwhelming it. But be warned: IPAs are not for the faint drinkers! Better sip slowly if you don’t want to wobble away from the dinner table.
Whether you’re passing around a spicy prawn cocktail or gathering around an outdoor table for an old-fashioned prawn boil, a hefeweizen is the best fit. Arguably one of the best beers for drinking outside, a hefeweizen feels like a springtime celebration — and it won’t overwhelm the delicate flavor of your prawns.
EVERY SELECTION WE OFFER IS RESPONSIBLY SOURCED AND WILD-CAUGHT

Ceviche 101:
TIPS & TRICKS TO MAKE YOUR OWN CEVICHE SAFELY AT HOME
Summertime’s Sidekick
AVOID FRESHWATER FISH
Eating freshwater fish raw can come with some additional risks, so it’s best avoided. Stick to fish from the sea that has been sustainably caught and sourced.
THINK IT’S ONLY GOOD AT A RESTAURANT? THINK AGAIN.
USE FROZEN FISH
Ceviche is a fresh, flavorful and delicious way to eat seafood born from coastal South American cuisine. More specifically, it’s a seafood dish where diced cubes of raw fish marinate in a lemon or lime juice mixture, and the reaction of the citrus juices cures the fish protein and causes it to become opaque and firm while absorbing flavor that achieves the a similar effect from heat cooking. While traditional ceviche uses white fish — typically grouper, rockfish or sole — you can use a wide variety of seafood to prepare it, including shrimp and even crab. With the proper high-quality seafood you can make this refreshing summertime treat at home.
It might be tempting to get fresh fish to make your ceviche, but frozen actually comes with less risk. And for ceviche, higher quality is always better. Look for a wild caught and flash frozen white fish, like cod or halibut. You want the texture to be firm and the flavor subtle.
USE A VARIETY OF CITRUS
While lime is the most commonly used citrus for ceviche, a combination of citrus yields the best flavor. Try combining three parts fresh lime juice, two parts fresh lemon juice and one part fresh grapefruit juice for variety. Make sure you have enough juice to fully soak the chunks of fish.
PRACTICE PATIENCE
Ceviche takes time to marinate. In order for the citrus acid to effectively cure the fish, you should let it soak in the juices for at least 30 minutes, but ideally longer. However, it’s a fine balance: too long and your fish might start to pickle. Aim for the sweet spot of around one hour, but no more than two. And don’t forget to zest your citrus and include that in your mix — it’ll enhance the flavor even further.
Use only the best quality
ADD OTHER SEASONINGS AND INGREDIENTS
Wild Black Cod
Vegetables like tomatoes, onion, jalapeño and corn, as well as seasonings like cilantro and salt, are essential for making your ceviche as delicious as possible. Play around with combinations and flavors that you like until you find your perfect formula.
Prized for its rich melt-in-your-mouth flavor and succulent, velvety texture, Black cod is an excellent source of heart-healthy, omega-3s. It has a beautiful snow-white fillet, perfect flake and rich oil content. It’s perfect baked, broiled, steamed, grilled or used in your homemade ceviche.

Shrimp or Prawns?
learn the difference between the two From being different species, to coming from different habitats, these tasty crustaceans each have distinct qualities that make them ideal for different occasions. The most noticeable differences are size and taste. In most cases, prawns are larger than shrimp and tend to have a slightly sweeter taste. No matter what you decide, quality is always most important. The majority of farmed shrimp comes from regions where regulations are limited. That’s where we come in!
OISHII WHITE SHRIMP
These shrimp are processed fresh and by hand, ensuring they arrive in your kitchen with the highest quality color, taste and texture. In addition to being responsibly and sustainably sourced, Oishii shrimp are also free from artificial preservatives, added hormones, phosphates and antibiotics. Our Oishii shrimp come in 2-lb. bags and you can expect 8-12 shrimp per pound.
Biloxi Shrimp Co. In the deep, warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Biloxi Shrimp Co. finds shrimp that have a taste like no other. They are delightfully sweet with a firmer texture than most fishery-bred shrimp, and because they come from nutrient-rich waters, they can grow to a variety of sizes, from extra small to colossal. Their daily catch is immediately processed on the Back Bay of Biloxi, Mississippi, where the Biloxi Shrimp Co. team hand-processes Gulf white shrimp and prepares them for delivery.

Our wild Alaskan Spot Prawns are a 100% wild, untouched product, sustainably sourced and flash frozen without any chemicals. Sweeter than the shrimp you are used to! 2.2 lbs per order.

Add a small pinch of salt after each adjustment. 6. Add an equal portion of dressed lobster salad to each of the toasted, split-top buns. 7. Garnish each sandwich with remaining tarragon leaves, and enjoy!
