I can draw on a large crew of expertise. Wulf's Fish is a premium seafood company serving top restaurants and passionate home cooks in Boston, New York City, and across the country. We source only the best seafood, handle it meticulously, and cut fish by hand with an old school attention to detail and service. Our work has been recognized in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Forbes, Boston.com, Eating Well, Boston Magazine, EATER Boston, Milk Street, The Spruce Eats, Serious Eats, WBUR Radio, and WGBH TV.

The current company grew out of a beloved neighborhood fish market in Brookline that sold to a loyal clientele for 90 years, starting in 1926. In 2016, we closed the store and shifted our focus to the restaurant kitchen. Our chef customers are just as obsessed with quality as we are, and they range from multi-Michelin starred chefs working every day to maintain and exceed their own high standards, to up-and-coming independent chef-operators striving to make their mark on the world. In spring 2020, we launched an online store and home delivery service, selling home cooks the same top-quality products usually reserved for chefs.

  • Understanding Salmon: Farmed vs. Wild and Cooking Tips
    Alisha explains that salmon species vary in taste, texture, and fat content. "The only thing you can really do to go wrong in the kitchen is to overcook it," she says. For lean species like sockeye, use specific recipes. Farmed Atlantic salmon is versatile and safe for raw consumption. Understanding these differences ensures a perfect dish.
  • Discover the Best Fish to Eat: Expert Insights from Wulf's Fish
    Alisha highlights salmon's versatility and low mercury, recommending Atlantic Salmon for its mild taste. She notes, "Mackerel is great grilled or cured." Cod is perfect for pan-searing or soups, while herring offers bold flavors, ideal for pickling. For variety, try haddock, pollock, or farmed fish like arctic char, ensuring low mercury levels.
  • Expert Tips for Buying and Serving Oysters from Wulf's Fish
    Bekah explains farmed oysters are consistent and eco-friendly, while wild ones offer complex flavors. Buy from reputable sources, ensuring freshness. Store in a draining vessel, covered with a damp towel. Bekah says, "Absolutely you can shuck oysters at home." Oysters can be baked, fried, grilled, or pickled. Serve raw on the half shell for the classiest presentation.
