We Created This Alaskan Seafood Box Just for You

I asked Tyson Fick, who runs Taku River Reds, one of the operations I wrote about in yesterday’s article if he could put together a seafood box; he came up with this incredible and unique mix of about a pound each of wild, hand-caught Alaska red king salmon, spot prawns, yelloweye rockfish, coho salmon burger, and coho salmon. Tyson assembled 200 of these boxes, available only to members of The Bittman Project — you.

The cost, shipped to your door, is $130. That’s a lot (though $25/pound for top quality sustainable and guaranteed to be well-handled fish is fair), so I asked Tyson to send me a breakdown of costs; see below. Clearly, none of this is cheap, but what you’re supporting when you buy from people like this is quality, sustainability, and fair wages for small boat fishermen and fisherwomen. You can check out the box that Tyson put together by clicking on any of the red buttons. Supply is limited, so these might go fast, but if there are still some left after this week, I’ll let you know.
