About
For more than 40 years, Great Eastern Seafood has supplied New England restaurants and retailers from Boston's Black Falcon Avenue — sourcing through Gloucester, New Bedford, and Portland display auctions, direct Iceland quota partnerships, and trusted boats worldwide. Fish stays whole on ice until your order is hand-cut. Honesty, loyalty, service, and respect aren't marketing lines here; they're how the floor runs every morning.
Programs
Iceland direct
Long-line partnerships with quota owners for Icelandic cod, haddock, and plaice — smaller day boats, consistent supply year-round.
Hand-cut to order
Fish stays whole on ice until your order hits the floor. A new ice-slurry system keeps product cold through cut, pack, and dispatch.
Global sourcing
Canada, Norway, Chile, Faroe Islands, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Australia — like-minded partners when local boats are between seasons.
Sustainability programs
MSC-certified wild options and ASC-certified farmed salmon and Arctic char — spec sheets and chain-of-custody on request.
Quality control floor
A dedicated QC team inspects every outbound case. If we would not serve it at home, it does not ship.
