Reely Hooked Fish Co. is a small business based in Pembroke Pines, Florida that makes a healthy, smoked fish dip. The two entrepreneurs behind the dip, Steven Markley and James Arcaro, make it with smoked Kingfish that they catch on their boat in the Atlantic Ocean. Instead of adding mayonnaise or cream cheese, they mix it with Greek yogurt. The two fishermen (and native wildland firefighters) pitched Reely Hooked Fish Co. on Shark Tank in November 2017. They went into the Tank seeking an investment of $75,000 in exchange for 25 percent equity. And that’s exactly what they got from billionaire Mark Cuban.

Steven and James also appeared on the Discovery Channel show “A Fishing Story” in May.
