Company description

The path that our seafood follows from the ocean to the plate is convoluted and opaque: Sea to Table’s mission is to change that.<br /><br /> Owned and operated by the Dimin family, Sea to Table partners with 48 independent fishermen and commercial docks all around the country, shipping their catch directly to over 1,000 chefs at restaurants and institutions in 46 states.<br /><br /> We source wild, domestic seafood that is sustainably harvested and traceable directly to the point of landing. Bypassing the traditional distribution chain, Sea to Table creates more valuable connections for fishermen, chefs, and diners.
