What is the Spring Equinox?
Twice a year, the earth reaches a point on its orbit that light from our sun hit it at exactly 90 degrees. Our spring and fall equinoxes.
The term “equinox” originates from latin, basically meaning “equal night” and refers to the fact that both day and night are of the exact same length on these two very special days. While one of them leads us towards winter, the spring equinox leads us towards - you guessed it - spring, and the bliss and abundance of summer.
The equinox marks balance — light and dark, cold and warm, dormant and alive.
Nature knows how to begin again. So do we. Every spring, Seatopia recommits to the clean practices that set us apart — zero microplastics, mercury-safe, raised on regenerative aquaculture farms that work with the ocean’s natural rhythm. This is your season of renewal, too.

The Ocean Blooms First
Most people notice spring in the trees, but the real beginning of spring happens somewhere you can't see it: it happens in the ocean. Just beneath the surface something has started, even before you even felt the warmth. Phytoplankton bloom.
Each one is a tiny solar panel, converting sunlight into life. And when spring hits they explode.
Earth Month & Mother Ocean
The ocean covers 71% of our planet. How we farm it matters. This Earth Month, we're doubling down on honouring that and the idea of putting the ocean first. That is why throughout all of April, we will be planting a mangrove for each order received.
Before there was aquaculture, there was the ocean — ancient, generous, alive. Everything we do at Seatopia is in service of that relationship. Clean feed. Clean water. Zero microplastics.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Can I customize my box?
We are essentially a farmers market for artisanal aquaculture. In that sense, our Seatopia curated boxes are like a CSA box. We offer our curated boxes as a way to highlight what is seasonally available and introduce our members to new seafood and farm partners they might be interested in. So, they cannot be customized.
But we do offer custom boxes! Members can order a custom box through the a la cart section of our website. Subscription members can mix and match items in their portal and take advantage of member-only items and offers.
Do I have to subscribe to place an order?
No! But becoming a subscriber is the best way to support aquaculture farmers raising fish the right way.
Your subscription helps us with planning harvest timelines and scheduling ocean freight, helping us move the industry away from unsustainable practices of flying fresh fish around the world. Subscribers also have early access to preferred pricing, exclusive add-ons and limited time offers.
You will never be locked in to a subscription - you may change the order, the frequency or cancel anytime.
Do you offer discounts?
As a general rule, we do not offer discounts, aside from a small thank you for first time customers. We offer the same incentive if you find us through one of our affiliate friends or supporters. Both are only available to first time customers.
Rather than ask our members to search the internet for discounts and coupons, we always offer the lowest prices we can.
The best way to save is by becoming a monthly subscriber. Our subscription members receive a small price incentive for helping us to reliably and predictably support artisan, regenerative aquaculture.
What about antibiotics?
At Seatopia, we have a strict zero-tolerance policy for the use of preventative antibiotics in our feed, and our partner farms do not use preventative antibiotics.
In extreme cases where a veterinarian prescribes antibiotics for an individual animal's treatment, that animal is quarantined for a sufficient period, typically at least 30 days, to ensure no detectable levels of antibiotics remain before it can be reintegrated or harvested.
However, these instances where antibiotics are prescribed are rare, and typically only realistically possible in open-ocean aquaculture.
Many of our land-based (RAS) farms use zero antibiotics under any circumstances. More information about these and our other farms can be found on individual farm pages.
We are always able to answer any additional questions via email at nemo@seatopia.fish
What is a portion?
Many in our community are cooking for households or meal planning around specific protein requirements. For that reason, we sell our curated boxes in portions, not pieces.
A portion is typically 5.5-8oz for filets. For other items, like scallops or smoked trout, a portion can be considered 3-4oz, which is the recommended portion size per the professional chefs and nutritionists that we work with.
So, a 12 serving box will contain 4.5-5.5lbs of raw seafood.
