Our founder, Dave Greenberger, began fishing at age eleven and launched his first vessel, the Jeanette, at twenty-two. Originally designed as a salmon packer, the Jeanette's durability allowed safe navigation through challenging ocean conditions. Today, Dave oversees canning operations in Tacoma, Washington, where we produce premium seafood using traditional methods. Our products are caught in the North Pacific using hook-and-line techniques that prioritize sustainability and quality. Each fish is hand-packed in its own natural juices without additives, preserving nutritional value and flavor.Our BPA-free cans ensure safety while maintaining the integrity of wild-caught seafood. With decades of experience, we emphasize transparency in sourcing and processing, offering products rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health. Our commitment to dolphin-safe practices and environmental stewardship distinguishes us in the industry. We provide educational resources about the benefits of wild-caught versus farmed fish, emphasizing nutritional differences and sustainability.

Questions
What makes Dave's Albacore different from other canned tuna?
Our tuna is hook-and-line caught without nets, processed without additives, and cooked only once in its natural juices. This preserves texture, flavor, and nutritional value compared to mass-produced alternatives.
Are your products BPA-free?
Yes, we use BPA-free cans for all our seafood products to ensure safety while maintaining the natural quality of our wild-caught ingredients.
How should I store your canned seafood?
Store in a cool, dry place. Unopened cans maintain quality for approximately 10 years when the vacuum seal remains intact without dents or bulging.
What sustainability practices do you follow?
We use hook-and-line fishing methods that minimize bycatch, prioritize dolphin-safe practices, and avoid farmed fish to protect marine ecosystems while supporting local fisheries.
Can I purchase products directly from your facility?
While we primarily operate online, our products are available through retail partners including Whole Foods Market and specialty gourmet stores nationwide.
Do you offer bulk ordering options?
Yes, we provide case quantities (24 cans) for all products with discounted pricing available for larger purchases through our website.
