Product Description

Sidestriped shrimp are sweet, fresh, and slightly briny, with a delicate yet firm, buttery texture. They’re herbivores, which is what gives them their sweet taste — sweeter than spot shrimp. They’re also smaller than spot shrimp and have thinner shells, which are easy to peel off. In fact, the shells are thin enough that you could skip the peeling, and fry them up (shells and all) with salt and pepper for a crispy treat. Sidestriped shrimp are harvested in a very small fishery where only ten fishermen participate. They’re caught with beam trawl gear, which skims a lightweight net along the ocean floor in exclusively sandy, muddy habitats, where the ocean floor is already accustomed to frequent disruption. The fishermen also use a fish excluder, which creates an opening in the net for fish to pass through to mitigate bycatch. These environmentally-conscious efforts have allowed this fishery to be sustainably harvested for over 100 years. Shrimp is ice-glazed, head off, shell on, and loose-packed in 1 lb packages with ~40 shrimp per lb.

What Members Are Saying About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

What are one-time boxes?
One-time boxes are 4-5 lb boxes of seafood that we make available to our members as a special perk of their membership. The seafood we offer as a one-time box may be from a fishery in a different part of the country (think Maine scallops!) or a special cut of seafood we already source (think halibut cheeks or king salmon collars). It may be a value-added seafood product we've created, like our Grill-Ready Salmon Burgers, or smoked sablefish. Lastly, it might be some of the species we include in our subscriptions in cases where we have a surplus of delicious premium quality seafood after our subscription boxes are packed.
Do members get a discount on one-time boxes?
Yes! All of our members receive a 10% discount on one-time boxes. Simply log in to your member account before checkout to have your discount automatically applied.
Can I just order one type of seafood?
We often offer a single species in our one-time boxes, in addition to mixed species boxes. We are not currently customizing any one-time boxes.
Can I add a personalized gift message for my recipient?
Yes! During checkout you will be asked if you want to leave a gift message for your recipient. One week before delivery, we will send your gift recipient an email with delivery information and your gift message.
What are the denominations of your Digital Gift Cards?
We offer digital gift cards for $50, $100, $150, or $250.
