The company is strongly committed to sustainable practices, responsible business, and unrivaled quality.
Our goal is to increase the value of seafood worldwide to all partners, through ongoing education and by exceeding industry standards for corporate environmental and social responsibility.
Power of Community
“East Coast Seafood is not just about one individual, it’s a collection of people – from the men and women who go out and risk their lives to pull our seafood out of the ocean to every person we have working in our processing plant and throughout the business.”
Chain of Custody Standards
East Coast Seafood’s waterfront facility in New Bedford was one of first facilities certified to BAP chain of custody standards. “BAP is very well recognized and respected by most major food retailers and distributors across the US and Canada and this certification puts East Coast Seafood in an exclusive club of North American companies that can repack BAP products for our customers.”
Giving back to the Ocean
Dedicated to sustainable practices, East Coast Seafood created a unique One for One program with a goal of placing one juvenile lobster back into the ocean for each one harvested. In partnership with lobster hatcheries in the Canadian Maritimes, the program has released more than 1.5 million juvenile lobster into the ocean.
Ongoing Education
Helping to educate seafood buyers by hosting in depth learning opportunities, such as Lobster 101, Scallop 101 and the Lobster Academy. We’ve graduated buyers from all over the world including countries such as USA, Canada, China, Greece, France, Sweden, Italy, and Korea.
