A new year invites fresh energy, healthier habits, and simple routines that make eating well easier than ever.

One of the best ways to start strong? Adding more high-quality, nutrient-dense seafood to your weekly menu. And when that seafood comes directly from the cold, pristine waters of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest—delivered straight to your door—it becomes even simpler to fuel your body with clean, sustainable protein.

Behind Premier Catch’s 2020 launch is a legacy that spans generations of Besecker family experience in the seafood industry—spanning decades of fishing Alaska’s wild waters, buying from small coastal docks, and supplying restaurants across the globe. 

Co-founders (and sisters-in-law) Joci and Ashley Besecker grew up surrounded by fishing families and married into one whose expertise shaped their lives. When their father-in-law, Dana F. Besecker, passed away in 2022, they dedicated Premier Catch to carrying forward his legacy of integrity, transparency, and world-class standards.

Their mission is simple: help people live better and longer by making it easy to enjoy sustainable, wild seafood at home. With Premier Catch, you don’t need to be a chef—or live near the coast—to access premium halibut, salmon, shrimp, black cod, and crab. With that in mind, here are five delicious, approachable ways to bring more seafood into your new year.

These crisp, vibrant lettuce cups are the perfect light lunch or appetizer. Premier Catch wild gulf shrimp is quickly sautéed with smoky Southwest seasoning, then spooned into butter lettuce leaves with avocado, corn, lime, and a drizzle of creamy cilantro sauce. They’re protein-packed, refreshing, and ready in under 20 minutes.

Halibut is known for its mild flavor and flaky texture—and this recipe takes it up a notch. The fillets are filled with a bright mixture of lemony asparagus, garlic, and herbs before being baked to perfection. Restaurant quality, weeknight effort.

Rich, buttery wild king or sockeye salmon shines in this nourishing bowl. A simple ginger-miso glaze caramelizes in the oven, then gets layered over warm rice, crunchy cucumbers, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs. It’s balanced, satisfying, and ideal for meal prep.

Black cod—often called the “butter fish”—becomes the star of this speedy one-pan stir fry. Cooked with a savory miso sauce, colorful veggies, and a pop of citrus, this dish delivers incredible flavor with minimal work. It’s a great way to introduce someone to one of the Pacific Northwest’s most beloved fish.

A Pacific Northwest classic with a modern twist. Sweet, delicate snow crab is piled onto crisp greens with cherry tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, and a zesty Louie dressing. It’s elegant enough for entertaining yet simple enough for a weekday lunch.

Premier Catch makes eating wild seafood accessible, trustworthy, and truly delicious. By bringing generations of expertise to your kitchen, they take the guesswork out of choosing high-quality, sustainable seafood—allowing you to focus on enjoying wholesome meals that support your health all year long.

Here’s to starting the new year with freshness, flavor, and the joy of eating wild.
