Clearwater Seafoods was founded in 1976 as a small, local lobster retailer in Nova Scotia. Over 40 years later, Clearwater has grown to become one of North America’s largest vertically-integrated seafood companies, recognized globally for its superior quality, food safety, diversity of premium seafood. In 2021, Clearwater was acquired by a partnership between Premium Brands and the Mi’kmaq Coalition, comprised of seven Mi’kmaq communities in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Today, Clearwater is proudly Indigenous-owned, committed to creating a sustainable seafood future for generations to come.

Foley Fish was founded in 1906 by Irish immigrant Michael Foley in Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace, starting as a trusted source for fresh seafood for Boston’s Back Bay cooks. The company, now in its fourth generation of family ownership, has maintained its focus on high-quality, fresh seafood. After more than a century of operations, Foley Fish was acquired by The Chefs’ Warehouse in 2021, but the family’s dedication to quality seafood and the business’s core values remain.
