Wild Alaskan vs. Other Top Brands
Wild Alaskan is one of the most recognizable names in home seafood delivery, known for their national sourcing and sustainability commitment, but there are a few other options. Here’s a look at how the company compares to OceanBox, Sea to Table and Fulton Fish Market:
OceanBox vs. Wild Alaskan
Wild Alaskan Company and OceanBox both offer home delivery of seafood, but their offerings are much different. While Wild Alaskan focuses on a few specific types of wild-caught seafood sourced from the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, OceanBox includes both farmed and wild-caught options and sources from a wider variety of suppliers. OceanBox has broader offerings as result with more types of filets as well as shellfish and caviar. The prices are similar for the two services, so your preference will come down to how much you value sustainable options versus variety. Additionally, OceanBox touts “fresh, never frozen” seafood, while Wild Alaskan promises freshness via seafood that’s frozen near the source and kept frozen all the way to your doorstep.
Sea to Table vs. Wild Alaskan
Sea to Table and Wild Alaskan both ship seafood to your door and both ship seafood frozen rather than fresh. Like Wild Alaskan, Sea to Table only offers wild-caught seafood sourced in the U.S. Both are family-owned businesses. Even the servings sizes are nearly identical. The biggest difference is that Sea to Table has more diverse offerings from around the country while Wild Alaskan sources only from Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
The cost per pound is very close between the two services and both share a commitment to sustainable sourcing, but Sea to Table’s shipping is only free if you order $99 or more.
Fulton Fish Market vs. Wild Alaskan
Like most of Wild Alaskan’s competitors, Fulton Fish Market’s subscription service offers more variety while Wild Alaskan focuses on high-quality, sustainable filets, especially Alaskan wild-caught salmon. True to its name, Fulton Fish Market focuses on variety with lots of types of fish as well as seafood products such as caviar, smoked salmon and shellfish.
The biggest difference is price, as Fulton’s subscription boxes are more expensive than Wild Alaskan’s, so all that variety comes at a price. Also, while Fulton Fish Market has plenty of wild-caught and sustainable options, you’ll need to order more carefully if those are important to you.
