Get Hooked uses the buying power of our members to support local fishermen each week. We designed the Get Hooked experience to provide you top quality seafood from a source you can trust, on call to answer your questions, and ready with recipes and tips to make the expansion of your seafood horizons a delightful adventure in healthy, ethical eating.

When you sign up for Get Hooked, you are choosing seafood that come from the source and offers greater health and sustainability to you, our oceans, and our communities!

*There is a $1 surcharge for deliveries south of Ventura.

*Home delivery is $5-$12, depending on your location.

*There is a $15 membership fee upon initial sign up. In exchange, you’ll receive one free Get Hooked insulated tote bag with your first seafood delivery.

All customers are automatically billed for four Catch of the Day deliveries upon signup. You can skip deliveries or request changes to your account up until Monday each week. You can also shop the member store and add items to your delivery up until midnight the day before your delivery and will be billed for those at checkout.

We will automatically renew your subscription until you wish to cancel.

You can either enroll in our Home Delivery Service or choose one of our pick-up locations to your convenience.

For Home Delivery, we drop your seafood in a cooler bag with ice on your door-step. Please provide any special instructions for how to access your property or where to leave the seafood. We provide a cooler bag each week, and we ask that you put your last week's cooler bag out, the morning of your delivery so we can retrieve it when we drop your next delivery. You will get a text message reminder to do this the evening before your delivery. Each month, we take a tally of additional tote bags and charge $5 per extra small tote and $25 per extra large tote. We will refund that $5/$25 upon return of additional totes, or you are free to keep them! For large orders like spiny lobster, our large insulated tote bags require a $25 fee if they are not returned the following week.

For pick-ups, the evening before your pick-up, you will receive a text reminder to pick up your seafood. Go to the pick up site you selected during sign-up. Take your portion of fish from the Get Hooked cooler, labeled with your name. Check your name off the list from our clipboard.

We provide you with one free insulated tote bag to take your seafood home in. Please use it each week. You will find the bag labeled with your name on it at the pick up site on your first delivery day. For many pick-up locations, we also have a dry-goods bag next to the fish cooler. Your pantry items will be available in that bag labeled with your name as well.

If you don't like or can't eat certain types of seafood, you can tailor your subscription by indicating 'opt-outs'. You will receive an alternative seafood item whenever one of you opt-out species is our main share of the week. This alternative will be something you have not opted out of, and can be fresh of freshly frozen.

Below the list of things you can opt out of:

• Small fish (mackerel, sardine, herring and anchovies)
• Black Cod a.k.a Sablefish
• Shark* (sustainably caught as bycatch and really delicious!)
• Swordfish*
• Oysters
• Mussels
• Clams
• Crab
• Lobster
• Shrimp
• Squid
• Abalone
• Kellet's Whelk (escargot of the sea!)

*Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or young children due to mercury levels

Certain fish cannot be opted out of, like halibut or rockfish, because they are staples of our local catch. We hope you will try our recipes and find preparations with these species that you enjoy, or give unwanted fish to a friend or neighbor to enjoy.

If you are unwilling to try what we send you, please email us asap and we will do our best to provide a substitute. 

We encourage our members to try our full variety and if you do not like an item you can then add it to your list of opt-outs. Because our seafood is so fresh, you can be pleasantly surprised that you like something you thought you didn't.

You can see our seasonal seafood table to see what you are likely to get based on the time of the year. Halibut, tuna, sea bass, rockfish, mussels, oysters, shrimp and salmon are some of our most common items.

We provide as much variety as possible. Species availability is highly variable based on weather, season, regulations, market, pricing, and fishing vessels maintenance schedules.

Like a CSA, our mission is to help you eat what is freshly harvested and best supports our fishing community, so choice is limited. You will often be able to select from the "catch-of-the-week" or a few "upgrade" options provided including ready-to-cook pre-marinated fish or premium seafood such as lobsters. If you choose "catch-of-the-week" or don't make a selection, we let you know in an e-newsletter one day before your delivery what the week's selection will be.

We work with a different fisherman each week to buy one type of seafood for the week's deliveries (catch-of-the-week). We aim for variety week to week. When weather is really bad and none of the fishermen we work  with across Southern and Central CA are able to safely fish, we sometimes have to send out frozen fish instead of fresh, or partner with other fishermen out of state that meet our strict sustainability standards.

Along with this catch of the day item the we choose for you, you are able to choose to add-on specific items from our available fresh and frozen inventory.

Eating seafood when pregnant contributes to intelligent, healthy and calm children. Studies have shown an increased verbal IQ of 7.5 points in children whose mothers ate seafood during pregnancy. Children of seafood-eating moms also had lower hyperactivity. Pregnant women DO want to avoid eating fish high in mercury, which includes the large fish like shark, some tuna, swordfish and king mackerel. Feel free to contact us to opt out of these species if you are pregnant or breast feeding or hoping to be soon.

We provide you with one free insulated tote bag to take your seafood home in. Please use it each week. You will find the bag labeled with your name on it at the pick up site on your first delivery day.

We are committed to switching to a food safe compostable bag in the future to create a zero waste delivery experience. Help us reach our goal but helping our company grow!

You are also supporting a mission-based company that puts fishermen first. We make a home for local California seafood, changing what happens at harbors and increasing the value of our local fleets.

We offer local delivery, but we do not ship.

The day before your delivery we send our newsletter letting your know your catch-of-the-day species. In this email we include recipes, the fishing boat and method, and other fun ocean-themed info for you.

Each week, members can shop the special order store to add to their order.

Click on the 'Shop Now' button on our home page and follow the link. Add as many items as you want, up until the midnight deadline the night before your delivery day. Items will be bundled with your catch-of-the-week share in the cooler.

There is always a limited amount of the items we offer in our special order store, we have the policy of 'first come, first served'. We will notify you via email as soon as possible if we are not able to fulfill your order.

Almost all pick-up hosts offer ‘missed pick-up hours’ that begin upon store opening on the next day. Check missed pick up hours here. If you are unable to pick up your seafood yourself, you are encouraged to send a friend to get it on your behalf, or to take it home themselves. If you do not pick up your seafood by the end of the 'missed pick up hours', it will be donated to the pick up site host. If you have not paused your delivery schedule by the deadline of 9 pm on Monday prior to your delivery, you cannot receive a refund for the week’s seafood. If you have a hectic schedule, you might consider switching to home delivery instead! Just email info@gethookedseafood.com to ask to switch. Deliveries range from $3-8.

Your seafood will often keep for 3-5 days in the refrigerator and can be frozen for later. The exact use by date will be indicated on the label. We always provide detailed instructions for items like shrimp or oysters so you know how to handle the seafood to preserve quality. Our email newsletter also always includes an eat by or freeze by date, and any special storage or preparation. You can always call or email if you are unsure what to do! Most often, your seafood was caught 1-3 days before delivery. You can’t get it any fresher than this unless you catch it yourself! It is important to keep your seafood chilled during transport. We recommend using a small ice pack with your cooler bag. If the seafood feels cool to the touch after less than 30 min transport, it can be considered chilled.

First, check the cooler a second time. Sometimes bags sitting close to the walls or corners blend in or a bag gets covered by ice, so use your hand to sift through the ice a bit to discover any hidden or hard to see bags.       Make sure your name is on the checklist that accompanies the cooler. If you name is there, all products listed by your name should be in the cooler(s) for you. They may not be right next to each other in the cooler.      If you still can't find one or more of your items, please contact us as soon as possible: 805-209-2019 or email info@gethookedseafood.com. Most of the time, we do track down your seafood and you can still get it. If you wait until after pick up hours and the next day missed pick up hours end before contacting us about missing seafood, we cannot help you or replace your seafood. 

We provide recipes, and preparation instructions and videos in our newsletter and on our website. Check them out and get inspired! If you are unhappy with the outcome of your seafood dish, please contact us right away and we will work with you to make up for it or suggest new recipes or techniques to try. Get Hooked is all about making sure you love your seafood, explore new recipes and expand your seafood repertoire!
