Simple Seafood Recipes Inspired by the Blue Zones

Simple Seafood Recipes Inspired by the Blue Zones
-

We’re always inspired by the Blue Zones—those unique parts of the world where people live longer, healthier lives grounded in community, movement, and whole foods. While each culture is different, they all share a love for simple, nourishing meals made from real ingredients. And seafood, when it's wild, and prepared with care, fits beautifully into that lifestyle.

In the spirit of eating well and feeling good, we’ve created a few Blue Zone–inspired recipes using our wild Alaskan seafood. They’re light, flavorful, and perfect for weeknights when you want something satisfying without feeling weighed down.
