Fifth Generation of Fisherman
Sena Sea Seafoods is the culmination of rich fishing history, desire to share fresh, never-farmed fish, and the commitment to ocean stewardship. (Sena is pronounced Seena). The name Sena Sea is a play on words and named after Sena C. Wheeler, whose family has been fishing out of the Pacific Northwest, ever since her grandfather immigrated from Norway to Seattle’s Old Ballard neighborhood. The family tradition of fishing, her grandfather likes to say, probably goes back “300 more generations” in Norway. Rich strives to pass the tradition of sustainable and respectful fishing to the next generation, so he takes the family out on the boat ― the Miss CamiLou, named for his and Sena’s two daughters ― whenever he can.
