THOSE WHO CALL THE Florida COAST HOME are automatically enrolled in the “seafood snob society.” It’s a birth right of sorts around these parts to possess an expertise in fresh fish.

If you call another region home, you may still have the inherent ability to taste the difference between a fresh catch versus farmed fish, but chances are you also understand the difficulties of securing high-quality catches while supplies last.

Arron Kallenberg learned this a little later in life. A native Alaskan who grew up in a family of fishermen, Kallenberg was certainly a member of this “society”—if not one with VIP status. Arron’s grandfather made the trek from New Jersey to Alaska in 1926 and began fishing on a wooden sailboat in Bristol Bay, Alaska, home to the largest sustainable sockeye salmon in the world. By the time Arron was born in 1982, fishing was in his blood and dining on some of the world’s freshest, most nutritious seafood was the norm.

From early on, Arron wasn’t afraid to blend his family traditions with modern technologies. A true child of the ’90s, he was fascinated with computer technology and would take his laptop and dial-up modem out to sea to search for salmon and internet connection at the same time. After graduating from college, he became a software engineer and played a role in the internet startup boom for more than a decade. As time passed, he realized that eating the freshest seafood was not so easy in other parts of the country. And after learning more about how farmed fish has infiltrated our food cycle, and how technology could play a role in disrupting that trend, he decided to act. 

Arron Kallenberg, the third generation of an Alaskan commercial fishing family and founder of Wild Alaskan, holds three sockeye salmon on the deck of his father Walt's fishing boat, the Mary K.
