Meet The Wild Seafood Team
The finest group of people on the gulf
The team behind the scenes at Wild Seafood Co. is comprised of the most hardworking, dedicated individuals on the West Coast of Florida. We couldn’t ask for a more talented crew. From Chris with the unloading team to Vicky running the day-to-day, every member of our team is a valuable asset whom we are proud to have worn the Wild Seafood Co. shirt.
Founder
Jason Delacruz
Jason’s entry into the seafood industry was fueled by his love for spearfishing. He joined Shareholder’s Alliances & helped start the Gulf Wild brand promoting sustainable, domestic and most importantly traceable seafood to support domestic industry here in the Gulf. It wasn’t long before he realized his only next step was to become a commercial fish house. Since October 2011, Wild Seafood has been setting the standard for quality Grouper out of the Gulf of Mexico through the hard work and leadership of Jason.
In 2016 he was recognized by President Obama for being a Champion of Change promoting sustainable seafood. He remains active in almost every aspect of the seafood community, from SEDAR reviews, Advisory Panels, Gulf Council Meetings, to building boats, working with fishermen, Commercial spearfishing and so much more.
The Glue
Vicky Delacruz
Vicky works tirelessly stuck in the office, lovingly termed “The Dungeon,” to make Wild Seafood run smoothly. From billing, permits, and keeping everything running, she does it all with her sidekick Kathy. She compliments Jason’s work by going above and beyond for the Wild Seafood employees and commercial fishermen at the dock, making this truly a family business and a wonderful place to work.
She started her career running a local pharmacy, but as Wild Seafood began to grow, it became evident the dock would require her full attention. She left the pharmacy in 2013 and has been focused solely on Wild Seafood and Don’s Dock.
