Our Story and Brand Values

Brand Philosophy
Our ValuesSEAS EVERY MOMENTTM

We treat every moment as an opportunity to celebrate the food we love the most from the place we love most – the sea.
We have always believed that our unique seafood experience should be accessible to all. But our love of the sea goes so much deeper. We work to serve our oceans as faithfully as we serve our customers because we believe whenever you can make waves, you have to.
PROVIDE BELL-RINGING SERVICE

Our guests are treated to an unforgettable experience in addition to a delicious meal. We’re angling to give you that warm and crumblies feeling, moments of sea-prise and delight, and ring-the-bell service every single voyage.
THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE PIRATE ON THE SEA

Serving you starts with serving the sea. We do the hard work of responsible sourcing real seafood from real sea-places (you know, like oceans!).
Long before sustainability became a buzzword, we were working with partners who shared the vision of fishing smarter with less environmental impact.
