Why Choose Wild Pacific Seafood

Wild Caught

Every fish is caught wild in the open Pacific. Caught one-at-a-time by hook-and-line.

Sustainably Harvested

Our hooks target young albacore near the surface at specific sea temperatures so other marine life stays out of harm's way — a low-impact, targeted catch.

Rich in Omega-3

Hand-packed, then cooked only once in the can, preserving the natural oils and omega-3 fatty acids.

Premium Quality

Handled gently from hook to can. Processed and packed right here in the U.S., at a cannery we started with other fishermen nearly 30 years ago.

Family-Owned

Fishermen since 1969, custom-canning since 1998.

Fishing the Pacific as a family since 1969.

Meetthe Family Behind the Fish

Wild Pacific Seafood started with one boat, one family, and a simple promise: to do the right thing for the albacore and for their customers.

Harvey has been fishing the Pacific since 1969. Judy joined him not long after, choosing a life at sea over years spent waiting at home. Their kids, Stephanie and Eric, spent summers on the boat, listening for the bell telling them a fish was on the line.

When the big corporate canneries stopped buying from small boats like theirs, the family didn't wait around. They partnered with another fishing family and built an independent cannery to process their fish as well as fish from other boats in the albacore fleet.

Our Story

Big Changes at Wild Pacific Seafood

After 50+ years fishing in the North Pacific, Harvey and Judy have retired! Mom is enjoying a quiet house and the serenity of a garden, while Dad is focused on … well, rebuilding a 40' leisure boat. What else are you going to do when you're pushing 86 years.

This doesn't change our company much – I'm still taking the orders, Mom still writes notes for each order, and Dad packs things up and gets them to FedEx. The big difference is that we no longer catch our own fish. But that's okay. We have access to the best albacore caught in the Eastern Pacific.

Fishermen deliver it to Pelican Packers, the cannery we started 30 years ago with two other fishermen, brothers Russ and Mike Edwards. We decided to buy albacore from fishermen who use the same sustainable methods we used, and who we know treat their catch with care. It's delivered straight to us in Bellingham, Washington, and is canned with the same attention to quality as always.

Of course, Dad's already been talking about how to fit a fishhold and a refrigeration system into his refurbished boat so we could catch our own fish again. It would require taking out the extra bunks and returning to the days of me sleeping under the galley table, and I'm getting a little old for that.

RESPECTING THE ALBACORE

Sustainably Caught. HandledWith Care.

Our hook-and-line process protects the ocean, and the quality of every fish.

01

Hook-and-Line, Not Nets

Every albacore is caught on a hooked lure trailing behind the boat. No long-lines that cross miles of ocean, ensnaring other species. No nets that scrape the ocean clean. It's slower to fish this way, but it's how wild albacore should be caught.

02

A Targeted Fishery

Our hooks stay near the surface with lures meant to attract albacore specifically. Other species are not interested and can't get tangled in the lines, so bycatch stays naturally low. Dolphin Safe, Turtle Safe, Ocean-Safe.

03

Flash-Frozen at Sea

): Once on the boat, every fish is bled, chilled in seawater, and quickly frozen. This ensures the albacore we can is the highest quality possible for our customers.

04

CookedOnce, in the Can

We cook our albacore only once, right in the can, so the natural oils, flavor, and firm texture are never cooked out.

Wild Pacific Seafood became my tuna of choice over 16 years ago when I was looking for an environmentally conscious business. The tuna is so fresh and comes in a variety of size and choices. As soon as you request it, it's almost at your door. I send it to my friends and family for birthday and holiday gifts. You won't be disappointed!

Verified Purchase
Almost 20 years ago, a (foodie!) co-worker told me how much he liked Wild Pacific Tuna. My husband and I tried it then, and it has been our only choice for tuna for over a decade and a half. Each of the offered varieties has been consistently delicious. Our orders are processed and delivered in a timely manner. If you are looking for a sustainably harvested, quality, canned tuna, I don't think you will find better than Wild Pacific Tuna." — MH (Delighted, long-time customer)
