Wild Local Seafood Co.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE! Especially to Paul Hyman that taught me and my siblings the selflessness it takes to provide for the family. To all of you dads especially fishing dads putting it all on the line (pun intended) have a great day!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MOMS OUT THERE…ESPECIALLY MY MOM NANCY LEE!!!💐

She raised me and 3 other children. We changed the name of the boat officially at the start of the year but I waited to post this on Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom out there especially fisherman’s moms who have to worry a little bit more for there kids to make it home safe!🫶🎣

Lobsters season 2023-2024 comes to an end! Thanks to all that supported us in our quest. We sell only domestic local seafood. It doesn’t have to be from us but always buy wild US caught seafood. Don’t believe the hype on the necessity to use farmed imported seafood. Around 90 percent of the seafood in the US is imported and were it’s caught, how it’s caught/farmed is always sub par to our scientifically managed fisheries. BUY WILD AND LOCAL!

Happy Bday to Crewman Clay Jacobs. He spent his bday fishing with me in the wind and had a big smile all day. Make sure you buy only US seafood and try to buy as local as possible to support guys like Clay and are local fishing communities.

THIS IS NATE LILE. He was my crewman for almost 3 years and friend many more. He had a really big heart, was funny, generous, and we shared thousands of hours together. He was happiest when at sea! Tragically he is no longer with us. I’ll be posing pics of him everyday❤️🎣

Look my I passed! If you like local seafood then like this photo! Pete did our dock side safety inspection for the coast guard.
The “coasties” will literally jump out of helicopters to save us from peril. If you see one tell them thanks for supporting local fisherman.

We have lots of beautiful local fish at our weekend farmers markets and at the shop. Come stop by and grab something and support local fisherman and domestic seafood. 90 percent of the seafood we eat in the US is imported and it’s a broken system(most farmers market seafood vendors are selling imported fish at your local farmers market😟🤢🥴).

WILD LOCAL HALIBUT! We have beautiful local hook and line caught halibut at all our weekend markets. The weather has been very nice at the islands and the fish are biting. Come out and grab a piece and support local fisherman and fishing families!

Welcome home Ruth Anne II.
She is making her way all day today from SC to SB! She’s the 3rd boat in our small fleet and rigged for Lobster, Crab, Salmon, OA fisheries, and groundfish/set gear! It will take a lot of fish and lobster to pay back her cost but we couldn’t be happier for the adventure! 🙋‍♂️🎣🦀🦞🐟💥

PEOPLE OF OJAI! We are coming to you starting tomorrow! We are very excited to be after years of working with the county to get there! We will have Wild Local King salmon and so much more.
Come out tomorrow and learn about the benefits of eating small carbon footprint local sustainable seafood! We will see you tomorrow!

WILD LOCAL VERMILION! We have had some breaks in the weather and have caught lots of local vermilion. They are hook and line caught with strict quotas to ensure a sustainable seafood product. We have them regular and ikejeme/shikejeme (Google this Japanese technique). We have them at all our farmers markets today. Awesome in fish tacos, ceviche, Crudo, and any recipe calling for a mild white fleshed fish. Come out and support local fisherman and buy a piece!

THE STOKE IS REAL! Pick up some king salmon for your Holiday meals! All are line caught on FV Rose Lynn and a great alternative to the normal holiday proteins. Kings are extremely high in omega 3 healthy fats and by buying locally you support local fisherman, lower carbon footprints, and protect our fishing heritage.

They are line caught by are own boat and an awesome source of protein and omega 3s! Support local fisherman, preserve our fishing heritage, and do something good for the local economy and planet when buying from wild local.

FRESH WILD LOCAL CA KING SALMON AT ALL WEEKEND MARKETS! We had another windy opener but put together a ok trip! We had some “Dandy’s” the last day and here Axel is showing one of. Don’t let your local restaurants or fish markets peddle poor quality salmon. Ask for wild local fish no matter who caught it and say no thanks otherwise!

WILD LOCAL KING SALMON SEASON IS HERE! It’s not hard to tell that crewman Axel is smiling under that face cover. We had a windy opener but caught plenty of fish for the public. These King (Chinook) salmon are caught one at a time hook and line and are one of the finest proteins on the planet! We have fillet and whole fish avail for Mother’s Day tomorrow and all day at the shop!

WILD LOCAL CA KING SALMON DAYS AWAY! We are coming up on our next King Salmon opener. There have been a tremendous amount of adult kings off the CA coast and signs are pointing to the same this year. These fish are caught hook and line using a troll method (the boats slowly trolls lures or bait to attract salmon). Support local fisherman and family’s and buy wild local seafood only wherever you live!

Say hi to Griffen, he has been with our team 4 years. On top of being a farmers market project coordinator for Wild Local he’s a commercial fisherman. He double majored at UCSC (marine bio/business) and he’s got a wealth of knowledge about our local fisheries. Say hi to him or at the shop.

They are gut and gilled and the highest quality king salmon on the planet. Come to our farmers markets or shop to experience the tastiest protein CALIFORNIA has to offer!

WILD LOCAL WHITE SEA BASS! Not a lot around this year but 2011 was different! They bit all the way through the winter on squid nest. These fish are caught adjacent to squid nest and if your lucky enough to try them they are great table fare. Support US West coast fisherman by eating these not Chilean/non sustainable sea bass
