Premium Maine seafood

straight from the source

With Dayboat Blue, you’ll experience ultra premium Maine seafood in its purest, most delicious form.

While traditional fishing and multi-step distribution practices prioritize volume and efficiency over quality, Dayboat Blue is different: we are a bespoke seafood purveyor, we freeze Maine dayboat seafood in absolute peak condition so it’s ready when you’re ready. And using an innovative community-based model lets us distribute our ultra-premium seafood affordably.

Let us show you what seafood is SUPPOSED to taste like

Here’s how Dayboat Blue works:

Testimonials

Join Dayboat Blue

We make it easy for you to enjoy ultra-premium, sustainably caught seafood while supporting small-scale, independent Maine fishing families.

How Our Model Works - and Why It’s Better

Your membership dollars can be used over the course of the calendar year to purchase 8 -16 oz vacuum sealed, blast-frozen seafood for local pickup or home delivery. We’ll occasionally offer fresh seafood as well, particularly during Maine’s inshore scallop season (December - March). Prices will vary depending on your location and whether we ship to you or you pick up at a community partner.

Getting your membership dollars up front allows us to purchase and freeze seafood at optimum times, which helps our producers while allowing us to offer ultra-premium seafood at affordable prices.

Your choice to purchase our delicious, convenient seafood is good for you, it’s good for Maine’s small boat fishermen and sea farmers and it’s good for us and our community partners. And oh yeah, it’s pretty darn good for the environment as well. When you join Dayboat Blue, you’re doing something great that’s also undeniably delicious.

Now offering local pickups in Maine, Boston, New York, the Hudson Valley, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Nationwide shipping home delivery will launch on June 16th.
