About Open Blue

Open Blue specializes in the sustainable farming of Cobia, a premium white fish known for its rich Omega 3 content and culinary versatility. Operating in the deep open ocean, 8 to 10 miles offshore, Open Blue's farming practices are fully submerged at depths of up to 250 feet, ensuring a pristine natural environment. The company serves both restaurants and local retailers, providing a nutritious seafood option that aligns with health-conscious diets. Open Blue's business model focuses on the wholesale distribution of Cobia, capitalizing on its unique farming methods and the growing demand for sustainable seafood. By maintaining operations in a protected no-take zone, Open Blue not only supports marine biodiversity but also positions itself as a leader in open ocean aquaculture. The company's commitment to environmental stewardship and high-quality seafood makes it a preferred choice for chefs and home cooks seeking versatile and healthy fish options.
