From the Bering Sea to the Gilded Net
For three decades, Magnus Thorne didn't just fish — he commanded the hunt. As founder and CEO of North Pacific Harvesters, Magnus operated a fleet of six crab vessels, including the legendary Bering Jewel, extracting King and Dungeness crab from Alaska's most treacherous waters for the world's finest distributors.
But Magnus was a purist at heart. He despised seeing a pristine catch compromised by standard logistics. He dreamed of a place where the journey from icy water to white tablecloth was measured in hours, not days — where the plating finally did justice to the sacrifice required to catch it.
In 2023, Magnus sold his quota shares and his fleet. He took his expertise, his connections, and his fortune to Rancho Mirage to open his masterpiece: The Gilded Net. He doesn't manage from an office — he personally sources every shipment, knows exactly which boat caught your dinner, and ensures the man who caught the prize is the one who serves it.
— The man who caught it now serves it.
