You won't have to spend an arm and a leg, while dining out, to take care of your seafood cravings either. Read on to learn more about several of the best seafood delivery services. These are companies that take fresh-caught fish and send them right to you.
1. Browne Trading Company
Brown Trading Company has been a well-known name in the Portland, Maine area for over 30 years. The brand has connections with sturgeon farms across the world and is one of the top providers of fine caviar in the United States. It even offers more than a dozen different caviar varieties. In addition to the various caviar options available, Browne Trading Company also offers several other seafood items for direct shipping.
Today, it offers online ordering for a variety of seafood items. These include lobster, crab, swordfish, salmon, scallops, shrimp, oysters, clams, and more. Browne Trading Company ships to all 50 states, and if you order before 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday, you will receive your order by the following day — plus one additional day if an order is placed from Hawaii or Alaska.
At the time of publication, caviar orders of $150 as well as orders of $300 or more ship for free. This offer only applies only to orders placed within the contiguous U.S. You must spend $400 or more for free shipping to Hawaii or Alaska. All orders are packed with sufficient gel packs to last for up to two days, and the company will issue a refund for orders that arrive after that two-day window.
2. Fulton Fish Market
If you're looking for a large selection of fresh seafood, look no further than Fulton Fish Market. The market has been in business for over two centuries; it first started offering fresh-caught seafood to the people of New York City in 1822. Today, it is the largest fish market in the U.S. and ships orders for delivery across the country (excluding Hawaii and Alaska). Delivery costs a flat $19.99, but if you live in a Northeastern state you may qualify for free delivery if you spend at least $125.
You'll find that Fulton Fish Market offers several different seafood options. The brand sells scallops, lobster, shrimp, crab, octopus, and clams, as well as several types of fish, like halibut, bass, salmon, snapper, sole, tilapia, trout, monkfish, tuna, and mahi mahi. You can always place a one-time order. However, if you think you'll be ordering frequently, consider saving money by subscribing. Your favorites will automatically be shipped out at the frequency you select, allowing you to save 5% on your order.
3. Goldbelly
If you've heard of Goldbelly, then you probably already know that the company offers shipping from several different restaurants across the country, right to your door. This makes it possible to enjoy all of your favorite menu items without traveling to the actual restaurants you love. What you may not have realized, however, is that several seafood markets also sell their fresh catches on Goldbelly, allowing you to have these products shipped directly to your home.
