Seaforestation
Every order plants 1 kelp. Through our partnership with Ocean Wise we are planting Kelp for every Seatopia order. Regenerating kelp forest provides habitats for a wide range of marine species, from fish and shellfish to seals and sea otters. Kelp forests also help to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing the impact of ocean acidification and climate change. Together we have planted over 9,100 kelp trees to date! Learn more!
Carbon Neutral Shipping
In addition to planting kelp with every order via OceanWise, with every Seatopia order we are also support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air. Leveraging insights from Carbon-direct.com, for every order we receive, a formula based on the box weight, dimensions and shipping distance is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments created. Learn more!

The Culinary Canvas
Branzino's versatility shines in the kitchen! Here's a guide to unlocking its culinary potential
Preparation:
Whole Fish
Often the star of the show, Branzino can be pan-seared, roasted,
or grilled whole for a stunning presentation.
Fillets
Ideal for lighter preparations, Branzino fillets can be pan-fried, baked, steamed, or poached depending on your preference.
The Art Of The Skin:
Branzino's crispy skin is a prized delicacy. Pan-searing or grilling allows the skin to achieve a delightful texture. While some prefer to remove the skin, it's perfectly delicious!
Cooking Temperatures:
For the best flavor and texture, cook Branzino to an internal temperature of:
Medium Rare (125°F / 52°C)
The flesh will be slightly translucent in the center with a delicate, flaky texture.
Well Done (145°F / 63°C):
The flesh will be completely opaque and flake easily.
