Arteseans (SeaCorp Peru S.A.C.)

Sechura Bay, located on the northwestern tip of Peru, is home to one of the most interesting fisheries in the world. Each day during the harvest season, divers go out to a dedicated zone of the bay and dive around 10-16 feet to hand pick our Arteseans delicate sweet scallops right off the bay floor.

Without impacting the environment, our harvester, Ian Hanschke, and his divers work meticulously to pick the best scallops to fill their daily quota. Once the daily catch is filled, the boats go directly to the dock and are unloaded into refrigerated trucks. Within hours, all of the scallops are shucked, cleaned, and blast frozen at state-of-the-art facilities nearby.

Considered an aqua-farmed fishery, juvenile scallops are caught outside of Sechura Bay, placed in the zones, then allowed to grow naturally in these nutrient-dense waters. You will truly enjoy the uniqueness of the natural, Arteseans Diver-Caught Bay Scallops. Try them for yourself!

Harvest of the Sea

For nearly 60 years, Harvest of the Sea has continued to be both a pioneer and world leader in supplying premium shrimp and seafood products. Harvest of the Sea is a family owned and operated company that began as a fish market in 1961, and it has been instrumental in the development of the aquafarming industry. Additionally, it has been globally recognized not only for its innovation but also for its commitment to creating a socially responsible enlivenment for the families who farm, harvest, and process the very seafood KnowSeafood offer.

Best known for quality, transparency, and sustainability, Harvest of the Sea has set many of the global standards that guide our industry today. That footprint reflects a long-standing system of best practices that detail how all of our shrimp is required to be fully traceable to the source, audited not just by in-house labs, but also by an independent third party. Most important is that each package must meet our rigid criteria for accuracy and complete disclosure of every ingredient.

KnowSeafood

Harvested in an area in the North Atlantic called Georges Bank, our wild-caught, sustainable KnowSeafood Signature haddock fillets have been a New England favorite for generations.

Fishing out of our home town of New Bedford, Massachusetts, the local fishermen sail their trawlers to this nutrient-dense body of water and spend a few days towing their nets to land these native fish. Since there are limitations to how much haddock can be harvested, fish are caught to a quota and are not overfished.

Once back to the New Bedford docks, these fresh fish are processed, hand-filleted, packaged, and blast-frozen within hours of being caught.

Maldives Quality Seafood Pvt. Ltd.

Our Maldhoni Yellowfin Tuna is hand-caught by fishermen in the pristine Laccadive Sea located between the Maldives and Sri Lanka. Because they are hand caught, there is no harm to any by-catch, and each tuna is pulled onto the boat and iced immediately.

The catch is brought back to shore as soon as possible to greatly reduce the stress on the tuna and increase the quality significantly as compared to “long line” tuna.

Our Maldhoni Yellowfin Tuna leads the way for food safety and quality because of our commitment to never using any additives and our uncompromising harvesting methods and processing protocols.

Nordic Inc.

Nordic Wild Caught Sea Scallops, harvested in the deep Northeast Atlantic Ocean, are considered one of the most highly sought after delicacies of the ocean.

Dan and Daneen Eilertsen are the owners and operators of Nordic and have been harvesting scallops in these waters for decades. The six scallop vessels Nordic uses are considered the best in the New Bedford, MA fleet, as each vessel is constantly upgraded with new technology and procedures.

Committed to sustainability, the Nordic Wild Caught Sea Scallop is one of the greatest recoveries of an overfished fishery and this has a lot to do with fisherman like Dan. Dan works closely with and offers his fleet to the NOAA Marine Fisheries, and the University of Massachusetts throughout the year for ocean surveys of not only sea scallops, but also for other at-risk species such as cod and flounder.

Oceano Seafood

Oceano Seafood is located in the largest and most biodiverse ocean in the world, responsibly capturing the Pacific’s best seafood by working with thousands of Peruvian artisanal fishermen. Together, we maintain the highest standards of fishing practices to protect the Pacific’s resources and delicate ecosystem.

Oceano mahi-mahi are harvested from these waters from October to April by hundreds of artisanal day boats that work with agencies, such as the Peruvian Institute of the Sea, to improve the sustainability of the fishery and lessen the impact on the other species mahi-mahi coexist with.

All of our Oceano mahi-mahi can be linked to the individual boats used on each trip to ensure that short- and long-term sustainability standards are always met.

PezCo

PezCo, our rainbow trout harvester, is owned and operated by brothers Juan-Carlos and Luis-Ignacio Libreros. With decades of experience and a commitment to the highest international standards, their responsibility to nature and the local community is deeply rooted in their foundational values.

Working with government organizations, Juan-Carlos, Luis-Ignacio, and the PezCo organization helped retrain and provide meaningful and rewarding employment to many of the indigenous Colombian natives that were compromised during the drug war conflict.

Rocky Coast

Rocky Coast Lobsters from Maine! Just these words are really all that is needed to know that these lobsters are the best. Direct from the day boats that are fishing out of Owls Head, Maine, our Rocky Coast Lobster Tails are hauled from the bottom of these deep cold North Atlantic waters and brought to the dock hours later. Here’s a few reasons why Maine Lobsters make a difference.

The colder the water, the sweeter the meats there is more meat to the tail…the favorite part of the lobster for many lobster lovers. Next is the size of the lobster. The larger a lobster gets, the less meat in the tail and also can be a little tougher as well. Our Rocky Coast lobsters can only be under 5 inches in the body length, which means you are getting the best tasting lobster.

Boats are out by 6 in the morning, off-loading by 2 in the afternoon, stored in lobster tanks overnight and then process, packed and frozen the next day. Rocky Coast Lobsters from Owls Head Maine, there’s the difference!

Royal Greenland

Our Royal Greenland cold-water shrimp are a true delicacy with their bright-pink color and firm, juicy texture. From their origin in the ice-cold and clear waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, the cold-water shrimp grow slowly until reaching full size at six years. Due to the slow growth, the flavors and texture are given time to fully develop. The sweet and savory flavors combined with a juicy bite offer a full culinary experience. The shrimp are also high in protein and low in fat, making them a healthy choice.

All Royal Greenland cold-water shrimp are caught inshore near the Royal Greenland processing facilities where they are peeled and cooked in a continuous process to preserve the delicate taste and texture. They are individually quick-frozen to make portioning easy. Gentle thawing in the refrigerator preserves the natural flavors best.

Seafood Producers Cooperative

Seafood Producers Cooperative (SPC) is North America’s oldest and most successful fishermen’s co-op. Since 1944, SPC has been delivering premium-quality seafood caught on hook and line by families of fishermen. Of the co-op’s members, 397 calls Alaska home, and 216 have Sitka as their mailing address. Many of our members fish with family, either as husband-wife teams and/or with their children. Others hire deckhands while many of our members fish alone, enjoying the special connection they have with the ocean. One Fish at A Time is the gold standard for sustainability and is a traditional fishing method that results in extremely high-quality fish. Careful handling of Seafood Producers Cooperative fish results in the highest quality seafood you can find!

Catching fish, fish that feeds people, makes them happy, and provides a healthy protein for their diets, is an experience the SPC fishermen and families hold dear, taking their work very seriously and take pride in their work quality.

When you get fish from a fishermen’s co-op, you get the fish from a fisherman.
