Tre-Fin Day Boat Seafood brings the holistic approach of Community Supported Agriculture to the seafood industry, operating as a Community Supported Fishery (CSF). Day Boat Seafood means fish are individually caught and returned to dock within 24 hours, eliminating the wasteful and destructively broad approach of industrial-scale fisheries. Upon return to the dock, each fish is hand-cut and flash-frozen to maximize quality, nutrition, and flavor before being delivered directly to restaurants and consumers’ doors. 

Tre-Fin’s short supply chain and minimal impact methods yield a high-flavor product that has won acclaim from chefs throughout the Pacific Northwest. After proving the validity of their model, Tre-Fin is ready to scale their processing capacity and provide a roadmap for a truly sustainable seafood industry.
