Best Salmon Delivery Services

There’s no doubt New York’s Fulton Fish Market is the overall winner for best salmon delivery. The company has been operating since 1822, and for over 200 years, it has been supplying the freshest Pacific and Atlantic salmon to home cooks and chefs, including Eric Ripert for his award-winning French restaurant Le Bernardin. Its online market, launched in 2014, offers customers nationwide access to this iconic market. Wild-caught Pacific salmon, including sockeye, chinook, and coho are available fresh during peak season, which runs approximately mid-May through September. Market vendors also freeze these species at the peak of freshness, so they are also available year-round. Atlantic salmon, which are all farm-raised, come mostly from the Faroe Islands, and are available year-round. Overnight shipping is available, but take into consideration the time fishmongers head out to the market to select your fish: If you place an order on Tuesday, it will arrive on Thursday. Expect your order to come with cooking tips and suggested recipes for you to enjoy this savory superfood.

At Vital Choice, there’s something for everyone. The online market offers wild-caught salmon, with most types certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or recommended by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program. Choose from six species (sockeye, chinook, coho, pink, keta, and Copper River), which are available in different cuts and styles. Think skin-on/skinless, boneless, or a “duo” that’s paired with another fish. Each type is sold in four- or six-ounce portion sizes, and in six-, 12-, or 24-packs. There are also canned and pouched options, which are an easy way to use salmon in a salad or casserole. If you’re looking to jazz up your meal, other options include sausages and burger patties, as well as cured, cold-smoked, candied, or as roe. Sampler menus for up to four people are also available for celebrations. With so many options to choose from, the company’s wild salmon selection is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. 

To help consumers reconnect with “real food,” the Wild Alaskan Company has created a monthly seafood subscription that provides sustainably caught fish with fully traceable origins. There are three curated boxes to choose from, namely the Wild Combo Box, Wild Salmon Box, and the Wild White Fish Box. Each box features wild-caught fish harvested from Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Sockeye and coho, the only two salmon species offered, are preportioned and flash-frozen to guarantee freshness. Prices are $145 for 12 six-ounce portions and $267 for 24 six-ounce portions. Once you’re a member, you’ll get access to exclusive savings and specials, and the subscription option is flexible, making it easy to cancel, edit, or pause at any time. 

Alaska-based Sitka Seafood Market exemplifies the community-supported fishery (CSF) model, employing a small-boat network committed to sustainable fishing practices. The company works with fishers and trusted partners to deliver a variety of Alaskan seafood to your doorstep. Each CSF partner aligns with the company’s values of transparency and traceability, so you know where your seafood is coming from. Monthly subscription boxes are curated ahead of the fishing season, and each box contains 4.5 pounds of flash-frozen seafood packaged in vacuum-sealed, individual portions. The Seafood Box features a rotating selection of seafood that’s frozen at peak of freshness and traceable to the source. If you only want salmon, the Salmon Box is your best bet. And to maximize its use of the salmon it catches, members receive a mix of center and tail pieces. First-time customers can sign up for a trial membership for just $99, and you can choose between monthly or every-other-month options. 

There’s nothing better than fresh salmon caught straight from the ocean, but oftentimes they are expensive. Secret Island Salmon saw this as an opportunity, instead working to make delicious salmon accessible to everyone. After salmon is processed in its facilities in Chilean Patagonia, a team of aquaculture experts flash-freeze the fish within hours of harvest. Salmon is placed into the Individually Quick Frozen tunnel (a sort of super-powered deep freezer) with temperatures averaging at minus 80 Fahrenheit. With the capability to instantly freeze a fresh portion of salmon, it is then vacuum-sealed and packaged in individual fillets. Salmon is sourced from Chiloé, an island located off the Patagonian coast in southern Chile. A 12-pack coho salmon, individually sealed in six-ounce packs, is priced at $74.99, while Atlantic salmon is priced at $79.99. Other varieties include whiskey teriyaki salmon ($35.99 for four fillets), coho salmon bacon ($25.99 for 12 ounces), and salmon hot dogs ($24.99 for six pieces). You can choose to receive orders weekly, biweekly, or monthly, and shipping is a flat rate of $14.99. 

Sustainability seems to be at the forefront of buying decisions nowadays. That’s why Salmon Sisters—led by co-founders, fishers, and sisters Claire and Emma—harvests salmon only from Alaska’s sustainable responsible fisheries, which have met the criteria of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, a comprehensive guide on fishery management published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. It is also certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM). 

When you buy fish from the Salmon Sisters, you’re supporting American small businesses and small-scale Alaskan fishing families. Its bestselling staple is the wild sockeye salmon, harvested in southeast and western Alaska. Flash-frozen and vacuum-sealed in easy grab-and-go portions, the salmon is shipped in boxes priced at $329. The price reflects 10 pounds of salmon, which is around 40 to 45 servings. It may seem like a lot, but if you’re a regular salmon eater, it’s a great way to stock your freezer. Whenever you order, one percent of the sales go to the Food Bank of Alaska in the form of wild salmon. Take note of the delivery schedule; the cut-off time for same-week delivery is Tuesdays, and it takes up to three days to process orders, meaning deliveries typically arrive on Fridays.
