About Us

Growing up on a small lake in central Minnesota, we—brother and sister duo Amy and Shaun—spent countless days fishing, cooking, and enjoying the outdoors. Our family gatherings were always centered around great food, whether it was a fresh-caught fish fry or a backyard BBQ.

Amy, a self-proclaimed foodie, became well known throughout our hometown for her incredible cooking and grilling skills. She’s also the co-founder of SkolFood, a social media page that creates game-day meals inspired by the opposing team of the Minnesota Vikings. Her passion for bold flavors and creative dishes made her the go-to person for anything food-related.

Eventually, career and opportunity brought Shaun and his wife, Lori, to Texas. Over the years, Amy’s visits turned into BBQ pilgrimages, exploring some of the best smokehouses and learning the secrets behind legendary Texas flavors. We quickly realized that while our roots are in Minnesota, our love for bold seasonings, grilling, and BBQ knows no boundaries.

That’s how Deep Lake Trading Company was born. We wanted to share our own handcrafted seasoning blends—perfected through years of cooking and grilling—alongside some of the best BBQ rubs and spices used by top pitmasters across the country. Whether you’re cooking up fresh fish from the lake, wild game from the woods, or a rack of ribs on the smoker, we’ve got the perfect blend to take your meal to the next level.

From our family to yours, welcome to Deep Lake Trading Company—where every meal has a story.
