Hive Five™ Certified
No need to guess what's in your food or how it was made. Our experts vet every product for ingredient integrity, responsible sourcing, and great taste using our own criteria called the Hive Five.
From wild-caught MSC-certified tuna to Fair Trade-certified salmon, Fishwife works with responsibly-managed fisheries to improve ocean health, reduce pressure on wild fish populations, and minimize bycatch. Their fish meets EPA recommendations for safer seafood, and their rainbow trout has 62x less mercury than the FDA’s allowable standard. Fishwife's products do not contain ingredients on Hive's No Good, Dirty Rotten list of banned and watch list ingredients.
Well-managed fisheries, especially small pelagic fishes like anchovies, sardines, and mackerel, emit less carbon than terrestrial animal proteins, and the shelf-stability of canned seafood helps reduce food waste. Fishwife's products are hand-packed by family-run and First Nations-owned canneries who have perfected their artisanal processes over generations.
Fishwife's gorgeous packaging is composed of easily-recyclable paperboard boxes and BPA-free aluminum or steel cans. They prioritize recyclable materials throughout their supply chain and avoid plastic.
Fishwife is a female-founded and led food company aiming to make ethically-sourced, premium, and delicious tinned seafood a staple in every cupboard.
Our team personally tests every product to make sure it’s good enough to end up in your home, not a landfill.

Fishwife
Fishwife cofounder, Becca Millstein, and her small but mighty team, are on a mission to make ethically-sourced, premium tinned seafood as much of a staple in US pantries as it is in Europe.
What's a "fishwife", you ask? Originally it was an umbrella term for the wives and daughters of fishermen you'd find at a market, it's since evolved into an insult for brash and foul-mouthed women, which Becca chooses to wear as a badge of honor (editor's note: us too!).
