I was interested in SunBasket because of its claim of organic ingredients, and wild-caught fish and seafood. I've tried Blue Apron and Home Chef and while they were ok, I was excited to try a meal delivery service that had the highest ratings (albeit more expensive), and had more options (vegan, paleo, and carb conscious) compared to the other brands.
I tried our first meal last night - seared salmon with panang curried cauliflower rice. I like the curried cauliflower rice - very flavorful. But I was shocked when I looked at the salmon - clearly marked Keta salmon. If you don't know, Keta is chum salmon (bait!). I decided to be open minded and try it. It was absolutely pale and tasteless. And now it is too late to cancel next week's delivery, which contains, you guessed it - more salmon which will probably be keta. I'm so disappointed in this company. So, next week I will be buying wild caught soho, king, or sockeye salmon in my local grocery store, at my own expense to go with the meal. Because really, who eats chum salmon?
Hi Becky, We are so sorry to hear you did not enjoy the salmon. We only use wild-caught seafood that is recommended as Best Choice or Good Alternative by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch list. Unfortunately, we are not able to make changes to an order after our Wednesday 12 pm pst cut off time. So we may further assist you, we have sent you a direct message. - The Sun Basket Team, AK
