Butcher Box: Wild Caught Seafood (Salmon, Scallops, Shrimp, Cod)
For ButcherBox wild-caught seafood, you’ll need to choose the “custom plan” and not the “curated box”. Personally, I prefer to source my grass-fed beef (and other meats) from farms located in the USA, and most ButcherBox meats are imported. But Butcher Box wild caught seafood is primarily from the United States (Alaska, Massachusetts, Gulf of Mexico, etc). Their prices are actually much better than most other sources.
They offer wild-caught:
- Alaskan Sockeye Salmon
- Scallops
- Lobster
- Shrimp
- Cod
Here’s an excerpt from their website:
Wild-caught Seafood:
- Sustainably harvested
- No artificial coloring
- No additives
- Never given antibiotics or added hormones ever
We believe our great-grandchildren should have the chance to enjoy wild-caught seafood. That’s why all the seafood we offer is sustainably harvested.
OUR SALMON
Our salmon is wild-caught and sustainably harvested. When we deliver anything that’s wild-caught, it’s important to us that it’s sustainably harvested and contributes to the overall health of the ecosystem. It’s why we partner with people who uphold strict fishing and handling practices to guarantee an unprecedented level of quality and sustainability. Every year, the best sockeye salmon on the planet make their way to the pristine waters of Bristol Bay, Alaska. Fishermen take their boats and head out to catch these fish in their natural habitat.

OUR SCALLOPS
Our sea scallops are all-natural with no added water or chemicals. They’re caught in the cold water of Georges Bank, landed in New Bedford, Massachusetts and are traceable using the technology of Legit Fish. They’re sold “dry,” which means there are no added chemicals to make the scallops retain water and overcook. Get more details here.
OUR LOBSTER
Our lobster is wild-caught by independent harvesters in the cold, clean waters of the North Atlantic. We partner with a family-run business off the coast of Maine to bring our members delicious, high-quality lobster—sustainably. Learn their story here.
OUR COD, HALIBUT & SABLEFISH
Our wild-caught cod, halibut, and sablefish are sustainably harvested in the pristine waters of the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. We’re proud to partner with a fishery that’s managed under strict standards to maintain long-term sustainability, helping to ensure access to delicious, wild-caught seafood for generations to come.
OUR SHRIMP
Our wild-caught shrimp come from the Gulf of Mexico and are fully traceable using the technology of Legit Fish. They come deshelled with the tail off and deveined for your convenience. Get more details here.
