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 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.
So go ahead: let us show you what seafood is SUPPOSED to taste like.
Dayboat Blue gets you better seafood in fewer steps for less money:
Eliminating multiple steps in the supply chain lowers costs and increases quality.
All the benefits of a traditional CSA (in this case, F) but you get to choose WHAT you want WHEN you want it.
Getting membership dollars in advance lets us purchase and freeze at optimum times (lowest prices, greatest need from fishermen).
Focusing on frozen seafood optimizes transport options: (reefer trucks rather than overnight air).
Aggregating orders minimizes our already lower shipping costs: rather than shipping one order to your home via overnight air, we ship multiple orders to one location.
Offering frozen seafood allows customers to purchase more at one time, further lowering relative shipping costs while ensuring convenience: always have frozen seafood on hand!
Utilizing community partners provides wider (2-day!) pick-up windows.
Here’s how Dayboat Blue works:
Join our community
We’d love for you to sign up for up for a year's worth of seafood, but you can start with a membership as little as $100. Once you taste our amazing seafood you’ll want to buy more, but don’t worry: you can top up at any time.
Order Online
Order what you want, when you want. Chose from dayboat scallops, lobster meat, halibut, eel, unagi, haddock and more. Right now we’re offering local pickups in New York, Boston and the Hudson Valley, but don’t worry: we’ll start nationwide shipping and pickups in May 2025. Sign up by April 2 for a special bonus with your first order!
Collect your Catch
Visit one of our convenient pick-up locations (with more added all the time) to collect your order, or have us ship it directly to you. This initial year runs from January - December 2025, with 2026 memberships open in November. Nationwide shipping begins in May 2025.
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 Boston, New York and the Hudson Valley.
Nationwide shipping and local pickups will begin in May.
All memberships purchased on or before April 2 will receive a special bonus gift in their first order.

"The experience was unprecedented … The quality was in a whole n’other league: never had the tenderness, juiciness, sweetness, freshness. I’ve eaten scallops up and down the northeast coast. What I ate tonight was unparalleled."
