In 1957, Washington fisherman Tom Savidge and his spouse, Marie, built a backyard smokehouse, selling smoked wild salmon to local Anacortes taverns under the name “Specialty Seafoods,” now SeaBear. Savidge’s salmon was so popular that customers requested he preserve it even longer, so it could survive trips home from the Pacific Northwest. This request resulted in a packaging innovation – the Gold Seal pouch – that ensures freshness with no refrigeration necessary. Now, SeaBear is known as “the legendary flavor of the Pacific Northwest,” shipping seafood to all 50 states. Despite SeaBear’s incredible success, the company maintains its small-town principles: make great food people love, and always listen to your customers. And every order is covered by their “Fisherman’s Oath,” so if, for any reason, you are not happy with your SeaBear order, they will immediately replace it, refund your money or do whatever it takes to make it right.
SeaBear has been a WeSalute (founded as Veterans Advantage) military verification partner since 2004.
