Delivering fresh, local seafood to our community

We live right next to the San Pablo Bay. We greet foggy mornings, hear the seagulls call overhead, and welcome the evening ocean breeze. There is no reason why we shouldn’t have local seafood right at our fingertips. Fresh Off the Boat Seafood Company was started by a Pinole seafood lover who was tired of having to travel long distances to get the type of fish she loved to eat. So she and her husband decided to start a business of bringing local seafood to their beloved bayside communities of Contra Costa County.

Fresh Off the Boat Seafood Company brings the best variety of fresh, local seafood with a globally inspired selection of home-made soups and sauces, specially-prepared fish as well as essential grocery items perfect for cooking your seafood. We are unique because unlike other seafood markets where fish has been transported and handled by multiple distribution points, ours is delivered straight from the dock to your door giving you the highest quality and best value. All of our seafood is healthy, nutritious, sustainable, and comes from local waters.

It all starts with an early morning trip to the harbors in San Francisco and sometimes Berkeley. Fresh Off the Boat Seafood Company hand picks the freshest choices available that day and brings it to our kitchen where they are packaged and delivered straight to your door. We post your seafood options on our website daily so that you can choose what you want, confident that the fish will be top quality. The only way you could get fresher fish is to go catch it yourself!

Our Values

Commitment to Quality

Fresh Off the Boat Seafood Company uphold the highest standards of health and safety in all aspects of seafood handling. We adhere to all regulatory requirements for temperature control and monitoring, delivery, processing, sanitation & hygiene, and disposal. When choosing seafood, we only pick what we would want to serve our own family – so you can rest assured that you will be getting the best pick possible.

Focus on Community

We believe that community is the core of our being. Fresh Off the Boat Seafood Company wants to help foster a healthy, thriving community because we live here too! All of our business decisions are community-focused. We want to bring you direct food choices that are free of preservatives, dyes, toxins, and minimally processed. It is beneficial for people to eat local foods for health, economy, and environmental reasons. We are proud to be able to provide products that are good for our community.

Respect for the Ocean

We live on the edge of the bay, an estuary home to thousands of species of fish, plants, birds, mammals and more. Living so close to the ocean reminds us that we have a responsibility to make conscientious choices about what we do and what we eat in order to live in harmony with our ecosystem. That is why Fresh Off the Boat is committed to supplying sustainable seafood according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch Sustainability Guide.

Support Local Fishermen & Aquaculture

It is very important to us that we partner with local fishermen/fisherwomen, local aquaculture (seafood farm) and Bay Area-based seafood suppliers. Not only does this result in higher quality seafood for you, but it also helps support independent fishermen/fisherwomen, small businesses, cultivating a sustainable local economy. Aquaculture is an important source of sustainable seafood because it has a net positive carbon impact on the environment and helps preserve wild ocean ecosystems.
