Feed your Body,  Mind and Spirit

When my kids and I were trying to figure out a brand name and a label we wanted the name and the feel of the label to reflect the best moments of life at sea and the reason we choose this life. We talked about those rare days when the weather is good, the ocean is flat and fish are biting. On those days our connection with the sea is felt to the core of our spirit. The experience is best described as “Sacred”.

We catch each fish by hand and care for each fish as if we were taking it home to feed our family. And, in fact, we do! Our family eats Sacred Sea Tuna every day from the same process and inventory we send to you. So, in effect, you are our extended family.

Each fish is caught by hook and line, carefully brought on-board, immediately dispatched and bled to make the best meat we can bring home to you. We remind ourselves each day that we are taking lives and making meat.
