Quality is a vital element in any business, but especially in live seafood. A commitment to quality has been part of the daily business at Fisherman’s Market since it opened in 1948.
“I always tell my staff: If you wouldn’t eat it yourself, don’t sell it,” says company president Fred Greene. The strength of the company lies in the dedication and commitment of its people, Mr. Greene says, which is what has allowed Fisherman’s Market to
become an industry leader.
Fisherman’s Market is a diverse operation. The company is involved in every aspect of the fishery, from fishing and processing to export, retail sales and distribution. It operates numerous strategically-located buying sites/wharfs throughout the province where catches are off-loaded and shipped by specially-designed trucks to Fisherman’s Market for processing, shipping or sale in the retail store. Fisherman’s Market has a working relationship with hundreds of fisherman as well as suppliers throughout the Maritimes, from the boat to customers tables.
The bounty served up by the sea is truly breathtaking in its variety. From shark to squid and from prawns to lobster, if it comes out of the sea, it can be found at Fisherman’s Market. No matter what you buy from Fisherman’s Market, the shop has a firm policy - 100% guaranteed customer satisfaction.
