Fish Box in the Mail

   Good morning Monday,

     We did have storms last night but I didn't hear them-which is unusual for me Early this evening very bad storms are forecast-hail tornadoes etc-these storms seem to be stuck in this midwest  region still. We have missed the worst of it so far-so hoping that continues.

   Do any of you buy meat or fish packages that come in the mail?? This is a new concept for me, so thought I would try one.  We live rural so not a lot of food store options within 30 minutes. I don't want or need to drive over an hour to a larger city-ugh. It would be mostly 4lane highway as well another ugh haha

    I looked at Good Ranchers and if you want organic grass fed beef this looked really good, but I tried out their fish box instead. I was a vegetarian for many years in my younger days and afterwards I still do not eat a lot of red meats-I did really enjoy the deer brought in at hunting season at the woods house though-very lean meat.

   I did not care for some of the fish in my box-I like cod but not theirs-very thin filet with skin on-so not much fish at all. I never had halibut and I really liked that and the salmon, and their shrimp too. My box also had two free pounds of grass fed hamburger which I appreciated as that is what I buy at the store for hamburger.

   I did not like that the sizes and weights of the fish were all over the place in each package-they were just going for total weight I think. Larry loves to fish but he is not much of a fish eater.  My new diet right now is so restricted especially having to eliminate tomato sauces and anything acidic that I am wanting to eat more fish-and try new fish that I have not had before. (I am finally feeling better but have lost a lot of weight-for me-8  pounds now-so I am back to my younger days weight around 116 which is ok but don't want to lose more)

  Soooo around Friday evening I started searching online for just fish boxes. The site that I was impressed with was Wild Alaskan Company   An excellent site too full of information about the fish, they have a blog with recipes, special boxes for members-I thought their prices were very good too.  I would not want to pay the prices for their crab legs etc but I didn't know those were so expensive. 

    So I have a Facebook friend that we were chatting about things and she told me she has been buying from this company for several years now and has loved everything.  I had some questions about some of these ocean fish that I was not familiar with so I contacted them, and told him about my friend. He says then tell her to refer you to us and you will each get $50.00 off your next box.  Awesome! So since I saved $50.00 I spent $25.00 for their ground salmon-anxious to check out recipes for that-any suggestions??  I love salmon always have. Shipping is free which is a big plus.

   So I went with their wild combo fish box that has a long list of fish that could be in the box. I have it set up ight now for every 2 months-but you can easily skip a box til a future month of your choice. They have really good communication so far as well

Here is the fish list that could be included for the wild combo box I am getting the smaller box of 12 pieces. The fish with the stars may not be available for where you live-these are all available where I am
