When I was a kid, one of my favorite types of play was of the choose your own adventure variety, when I was free to chart my own course and design my own destiny. When the outcome of whatever lay ahead was directly related to the choices that I made, a future crafted by the particular decisions of my wishes and whims.
Which is probably why I'm infinitely excited about our custom box plan, as it allows members the flexibility to pick and choose species types, different cuts, quantities and frequency, thereby personalizing the WAC experience, and giving each member the opportunity to receive the dynamic variety (or in-depth singularity!) of wild-caught Alaskan seafood they want, when they want it.
Custom boxes are an evolution from WAC’s signature curated boxes, expanding upon the options that you have for eating in concert with nature through wild-caught seafood.But customization offers a lot more than options — it actually helps set you up for success. To put it simply, a custom box is nothing short of a game plan. Using our custom box plan allows you to envision your family's menus a month in advance. Think of it as the meal prep before the meal prep.
This type of planning takes the guesswork out of ongoing thoughtful nourishment, which, in my experience, also helps to position everyone for more healthful eating. The example being that if you know you've got a halibut bake, salmon tacos and a cod chowder on deck on one particular week, you'll hopefully be less inclined to choose that last-minute greasy take-out on those days. You'll also hopefully rest easy, knowing that you've got just what you need to feed your family well.
Here are just some of the many ways our custom box plan can really be worthwhile:
- A large family of five, for instance, may know approximately how many fillets they consume per meal, and can plan accordingly — even if one of those members prefers the milder coho flavor over the more robust taste of sockeye.
- Curious diners may enjoy receiving as many different species as possible each month, to always have the opportunity to sample a bit of it all.
- Someone planning a gathering, like a kid's party, may want to fill a whole box with one particular species — like a bunch of Pacific cod to make fish sticks; or order enough salmon to make a massive pot of chowder for a fall family gathering.
- If you've got specific fitness goals in your horizon, planning healthy meals well in advance is one simple way to achieve said goals. And the flexibility of a custom box ensures that you always have variety — to make things interesting and dynamic, and keep you motivated.
- Or if you simply don't want to go through the tedium of thinking through dinner every single morning of your life, when you pre-pair your favorite sides, vegetables, rice and pasta with a box of fish customized to the likes and needs of your family, the planning is more than halfway done.
Even if you’re happy with the selection of seafood you get in every curated box from WAC, I recommend checking out the range of options you can enjoy with a custom box plan. The infinitely personalizable possibilities may inspire you to enjoy seafood a new way with your next box.
Live Wild!
