Barlean’s Fishery has been part of the fabric of Bellingham, WA since 1972 — rooted in tradition, salt air, and the belief that good seafood brings people together. Today, under the thoughtful stewardship of Mark Riedesel and April Dayton, Barlean’s carries forward its legacy with fresh eyes and deep respect for the waters and communities that sustain it.

Mark and April are lifelong seafood lovers, curators, and advocates for sustainable, small-batch harvesting. Their passion lies in connecting people to the coast through quality, story-rich seafood. They work closely with small, independent fisher folks from across the region — sourcing responsibly, celebrating seasonality, and always prioritizing quality over quantity.
