Ocean Wise Fish Subscription – 12 weeks
$399 (10% below suggested retail) order here

(50% due upon sign up, remainder due March 14th–part way through the 12 weeks)

NOWBC Co-op is collaborating with Daily Catch to provide Ocean Wise seafood!  Sign up to receive a variety of sustainable fish and seafood over 12 weeks Feb 15 – May 8th.  Each weekly delivery will contain enough for a meal for a small family, or enough for a meal for two people plus some to put in the freezer for later.  Some example weekly deliveries: (a) 5 sockeye salmon fillets 170g ea, (b) 4 halibut fillets 170g ea, (c) 4 large salmon burgers, (d) 4 sablefish fillets 170g ea.

All seafood will be delivered frozen and will include: halibut, sockeye salmon, sablefish/black cod, albacore tuna, ling cod, salmon burgers, salmon candy, salmon lox, shrimp and hopefully local stripe prawns if we can get ‘em at the start of May when they’re in season.

Pick up your Ocean Wise seafood at one of NOWBC Co-op’s 24 different delivery depots in Vancouver/North Van/Burnaby. By you committing to 12 weeks, we are able to organize the supply with fisherman and ensure you some great fish, all sourced responsibly.  Your 12 week commitment also allows us an efficient model for getting fish to you, offering you some recipes, and giving you a bulk price of $399 which is 10% below suggested retail.  We thank you for choosing your seafood responsibly, and hope you really enjoy your fish!

The Ocean Wise program is based out of the Vancouver Aquarium and is committed to providing education and information on sustainable seafood products.  NOWBC Co-op and The Daily Catch believe it is vital that all our seafood suppliers are practicing sustainable fishing practices for the health of our seas. Thus we can ensure we are meeting this goal by only carrying Ocean Wise seafood that can be directly traced to its place of origin.
