EP 81 - The Deep Dive - How Sena Sea Does Seafood Sustainably

The Real Dish

My guest today is Sena Wheeler, the founder of Sena Sea. With fishing in her blood, so to speak, passed down from her grandfather. He immigrated from Norway with his brothers and became a commercial fisherman in 1938. They fished using traditional Norwegian longlines and passed the knowledge to their children, who passed it on again. Sena's father, Art, fished for thirty years, and Sena has fond memories of making trips with him on the Alrita as a teenager. In business with her husband, Rich, they are proud to be the third generation of fishermen carrying out their family tradition, and teaching their kids as well. Sena also has a master's degree in Nutrition and Food Science with a specialty in quantifying omega 3's in fish, and determining preferred handling. In this episode, we dished about sustainability, line-caught fish vs. farm-raised, the best way to cook seafood, and of course, Omega 3’s. Let’s dive in!
