Wild Alaskan Company, reviewed.
A subscription box of wild-caught Alaskan fish, from a company that owns its own processing plant in Bellingham. How it works, including the parts they don't put on the homepage.
Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through them, seattle.fish may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never affects what we recommend. See our full disclosure.
The short version
Wild Alaskan Company is a membership, not a fish counter. You pick one of three boxes (salmon, whitefish, or a combo), and 12 or 24 individually vacuum-sealed portions of 5–7 oz arrive frozen on your schedule: monthly, every 6 weeks, or every 2 months. The fish is wild-caught from Alaskan waters ("100% Wild-Caught, Never Farmed" is their claim, and they sell no farmed fish), and shipping is free to all 50 states per their site as of this review.
The caveats: you won't see a price until you're inside the signup flow, box contents rotate with availability, and there's no pause option, only reschedule or cancel. It fits households eating fish three or more times a week who want the choosing done for them. It doesn't fit anyone who wants to hand-pick cuts; for that, see the à-la-carte shippers in our buying guide.
The three boxes
Wild Salmon Box
Sockeye and coho portions.
The safe pick if salmon is the whole point.
Wild Combo Box
Sockeye, coho, halibut and cod, plus rotating cuts: salmon burgers, cold-smoked sockeye, lingcod, rockfish, pollock, sablefish.
The variety pick; contents shift week to week with availability.
Wild White Fish Box
Pacific cod, halibut, pollock quick cuts, sablefish.
For households that want mild fish and no salmon.
Every box comes as a 12-pack or 24-pack of 5–7 oz portions. Their guidance calls a monthly 12-pack "3–4 individual meals per week." Members can also build a custom box and add à-la-carte extras (spot prawns, weathervane scallops, Dungeness and king crab, smoked fish), most priced as a 2-portion addition.
Where the fish comes from
The company was founded in 2017 by Arron Kallenberg, a third-generation Alaska commercial fisherman, and the sourcing story holds together better than most: fish comes out of Kachemak Bay, the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea, is flash-frozen, sometimes on the boat, and is processed in the Pacific Northwest. Since 2023 that processing happens at Home Port Seafoods in Bellingham, WA, which Wild Alaskan bought outright.
There is no third-party certification (MSC or similar) claimed anywhere on their site. The sustainability case rests on Alaska's state fisheries management, which is well regarded, but that is a management argument, not an independent audit. They do commit to never sourcing farmed finfish, and the Better Business Bureau rates Wild Alaskan Inc. A+, accredited since 2022.
Shipping
Free shipping per their site (as of August 2026), to all 50 states including Alaska and Hawaii, but not Puerto Rico or the USVI. Boxes are insulated with dry ice, arrive within 1–3 days of shipping, and typically go out early in the week so nothing sits over a weekend. Plan to be near a freezer on delivery day; the first box lands within about a week of signing up.
Pricing
Box prices are still not published anywhere on the public site: the pricing page shows portion sizes and meal math but no dollar figures, and you see the actual price inside the signup flow, before you're charged. When we asked, the company's affiliate team told us (September 2026) that a first box typically comes to about $170, with most landing between $150 and $200 before any promotion. That is a guide, not a quote. Check the number at signup and compare per-pound against the à-la-carte shippers before committing.
The fine print
- It's a recurring charge. The terms of use authorize billing until you cancel. You get an email heads-up 3 days before each charge, and you can modify or cancel any time before an order goes out.
- There's no pause button. You can stretch deliveries to every 2 months (or push the next box up to 8 weeks out), but the alternative to that is cancelling.
- Cancelling forfeits any account credits or promotions, and an order that's already packed can't be stopped.
- Their money-back guarantee is real but discretionary: perishable claims go in within 7 days, and replacement, refund or credit is "in our sole discretion" per the terms.
- There is no membership fee. You only pay for boxes that ship.
Get it if
You eat fish several times a week, you want wild-caught without reading labels, and you'd rather have a rotation chosen for you than pick cuts. It also works as a gift, since one-time gift boxes exist without a membership.
Skip it if
You want to choose exactly which cuts arrive (see Fulton Fish Market and Sizzlefish in our buying guide), you dislike recurring charges, or you're in Seattle with a good fish counter ten minutes away. Buy from the counter.
