OUR PRODUCTS
Blue Sea’s mission is to bring quality products direct from source to the end-user in the most cost-efficient way without compromising quality and service. As a global organization with vertically integrated partnerships, Blue Sea has expanded its portfolio into crab, finfish, calamari, scallops, lobster, and value-added seafood products. Our commitment to sustainability and quality shines through every product we offer.

Our shrimp selection is a testament to this commitment, featuring both wild-caught and sustainably farmed options. Harvested from the pristine waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, our wild shrimp offers an unparalleled taste and texture. Meanwhile, our farm-raised shrimp, sourced exclusively from socially responsible and sustainable sources, provides a competitively priced alternative. For the utmost convenience, our value-added shrimp line offers a diverse range of ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat products, all at restaurant-quality standards.

In the world of crab, our offerings are equally impressive. Whether you’re looking for the tactile satisfaction of cracking legs, claws, and clusters or the show-stopping centerpiece of a whole Dungeness crab, we’ve got you covered. Our range of blue and red swimming crab meat provides decadent flavor and visual impact, making it the perfect choice when you desire the essence of crab without the hassle.

Scallops, directly sourced from the boats, offer a level of freshness and quality that sets them apart. They come in natural, dry, and processed options, allowing us to tailor them to your exact specifications while maintaining our commitment to sustainability.

When it’s time to indulge in the luxury of lobster, we have you covered with sustainably harvested 100% wild-caught lobster from a well-managed fishery.
