Neptune was founded by Stanford Marine Scientist Nick Mendoza, who grew up on a cattle ranch in New Mexico. Neptune’s mission is to restore humankind’s healthy relationship with the sea. The company seeks to do so by creating award-winning snacks from surplus found in the fish market supply, source sustainability, and support seafood supply chain transparency. The jerkies are made from premium-quality, undervalued and underutilized local fish and draw from a rich global tradition in seafood snacking, making it easier for everyone to enjoy healthy, delicious seafood while tackling fundamental social and environmental issues in the broader fishing industry. Neptune believes sustainable seafood is the key to feeding the planet. A wave of change is on its way. Welcome aboard!
