A family-run fishing company is helping more households discover the story, value, and flavor behind responsibly harvested seafood. For many families, grilling season follows a familiar script. Burgers hit the grill and hot dogs follow. The menu rarely changes.
Yet more households are beginning to look beyond traditional cookout staples in search of meals that are fresh, flavorful, healthy, and easy to prepare. Seafood is increasingly part of that conversation, especially when it comes from trusted sources with a clear connection wanting to know where their food comes from.
That idea sits at the heart of Net to Table Seafoods, a family-owned company founded by commercial fisherman Luke Owens. The business specializes in online seafood delivery, bringing premium wild-caught seafood directly from Bristol Bay, Alaska to households across the country. The result is a shortened supply chain and more visibility. They’re not a corporation or a middleman. They’re a fisher family. That means fewer markups, more transparency, and seafood you can feel good about feeding your family. Many consumers are surprised by what they find. As Owens explains, shortening the supply chain and selling in bulk makes wild Alaskan seafood more affordable than people might expect for wild-caught seafood delivered direct to doorstep.

Why More Families Are Choosing Wild-Caught Seafood
The appeal of seafood on the grill extends beyond healthy eating. Fish is simple to prepare, quick to cook, and easy to pair with seasonal vegetables, fresh salads, and other summer favorites.
For Owens, the story begins in Bristol Bay, Alaska, where he has spent years working in one of the world’s largest and most recognized salmon fisheries—a pursuit that has evolved into a deeply ingrained family tradition.
It is important to know where your food comes from, especially with seafood. Research from Oceana highlights that 33% of seafood sold in the United States is mislabeled. By sourcing directly from the fishing family, Net to Table provides the transparency and traceability needed to ensure you are getting exactly what you pay for.
“My dad has been fishing with me in Bristol Bay every summer since 2015,” he explains. Today, the operation includes his wife and three daughters, both on the fishing side and in the growing seafood business.
That family involvement has shaped the company’s approach to sourcing and transparency. Rather than acting solely as an intermediary, Net to Table maintains a direct connection to the fisheries and communities behind its products. The result is a business built around relationships, traceability, and access to premium wild-caught fish and seafood.
Bringing Fresh Seafood Online to More Tables
The company’s model focuses on connecting consumers directly to the source. Through bulk ordering and direct shipping, consumers can purchase products such as the Alaska wild-caught seafood collection and receive them through convenient home-delivery options.
The inspiration for the business grew from a simple observation. “I saw how disconnected most people were from where their seafood comes from,” he says. That realization inspired him to create a business centered on access, transparency, quality, and value.
What began as a commercial fishing operation gradually evolved into a direct-to-consumer company that helps households access premium seafood from someone they can trust and without having to navigate multiple layers of distribution.
Alaska White Fish: Top Picks for Online Seafood Delivery
While salmon often gets the spotlight, grilling enthusiasts are increasingly discovering other seafood options. Varieties such as cod, sablefish, rockfish, and halibut offer versatility and mild flavor profiles that add variety to summer grilling. The company’s Alaska white fish assortment showcases several of these species and offers home cooks additional ways to incorporate seafood into summer meals.
Owens believes the personal connection matters just as much as the product itself. Spending part of the year harvesting fish in Alaska and another part speaking directly with consumers through the website and local farmer’s markets has given him a unique perspective on what people value. Once consumers hear where the fish comes from and how it is harvested, he says, many develop a deeper appreciation for what ends up on their plates.
A Different Kind of Cookout: The Benefits of Wild-Caught Fish Delivery
Interest in ordering seafood directly from the source reflects a broader desire to understand where food comes from and how it reaches the table. Many families are also looking for healthy alternatives to traditional grilling staples.
While hot dogs and burgers are long-time favorites, they are high in saturated fat and sodium. In contrast, wild-caught seafood offers a nutrient-dense, high-protein alternative that is rich in omega-3s, making it a superior choice for a healthy, delicious backyard meal. The company recently launched Wild Alaskan Salmon Burgers to build upon the summer grilling craze for burgers. What’s different is that these burgers are actually good for you.
Net to Table Seafoods combines commercial fishing, family involvement, and direct sourcing to create a model that makes premium wild-caught fish and seafood more accessible. By connecting consumers with fishermen and fishing communities, the company is helping more families explore alternatives that fit naturally into everyday meals and backyard gatherings.
For Owens, that connection is what matters most. “This is not just about selling seafood,” he says. “It is about connecting people’s dinner tables to real fishermen, real families, and real places.”
