Our Story
(more than a couple of seafood-loving food nerds)
We are on a mission to transform seafood supply chains and make sustainable, accessible and transparent seafood products the obvious option for consumers.
Dan McQuade and Paul Neves have lived and worked in the seafood industry for decades before founding KnowSeafood.
As a teenager, Dan's father bought him 150 lobster pots and had him hauling those every day for quite a few summers. Skipping school to harvest Cape Cod Bay Scallops on the season's opening day is also a great memory. Loving and respecting nature, especially the ocean, is in his blood.
Paul, who as a child was playing with lobsters instead of Legos in the wheelhouse of his grandfather's fishing trawler, has seen how the ocean has been an essential part of the lifestyle of generations of his own family.
Seeing the disconnect between all the benefits high-quality seafood offers and the general mistrust consumers felt towards buying, cooking, and eating it, the pair created a better way to buy seafood.
Drawing on their passion, deep experience, and connections in the seafood industry, Dan and Paul founded KnowSeafood to use transparency and traceability to bring trusted quality seafood to a broader range of people.

Eat Seafood, Just for the Health of it.
Seafood is the healthiest protein we can put on the center of our dinner plate. We time and catch our seafood when it tastes best – only after it finishes a season of the most nutrient-dense food. Whether it is the Omega 3's, the high protein, low fat, or even those natural minerals our bodies and minds crave for a long-term health solution, seafood should be a significant part of our diets.
Better for the Planet & Your Palate
We understand that sustainability not only includes the survival of the species from overfishing but also the impact on the environment of the species, the community that harvests, and the effect of global climate change on water temperatures. KnowSeafood offers only sustainably caught and aqua-farmed products from trusted harvesters & farmers. Therefore, we strive to use environmentally friendly packaging when shipping and work with our harvesters to reduce the use and impact of plastics on our environment.
