History

Born and raised a true Mainer, Captain Adam Sewall comes from a long line of shipbuilders and fishermen. When he was 19, he moved to Kenya where he started a small hook and line fishing operation, while simultaneously founding and directing a nonprofit that focuses on testing and counseling for people living with HIV. Adam returned to the United States in 2011 to apprentice with some of the most seasoned tuna fishermen in Cape Cod. He then led the tuna fleet for two seasons. After, he headed west to California where he spent time working on party boats, crabbers, herring boats, and halibut boats. Harnessing his entrepreneurial spirit, he bought his own halibut boat and started the Sunrise Fish Company in 2015. He now plies the waters around the San Francisco Bay and the Marin coast in search of the freshest catch before selling at market in South Berkeley (and soon Old Oakland). Come by to swap fish stories and pick up the catch of the day.
