"Integrity, Passion, Innovation and leadership
are what define Harvest of the Sea.

Mark Shinbane, President

For over 50 years, Harvest of the Sea continues to be both a pioneer and world leader in premium shrimp and seafood products. The core values of founder and fisherman Bill Shinbane continue to drive industry standards and set Harvest of the Sea apart from other seafood companies.
What began in 1961 as "The Fisherman's Outlet", a walk-up fish market, is today both an award winning landmark restaurant and the cornerstone of Harvest of the Sea. Bill's passion for the seafood business has extended well beyond the walls of his fish market. With uncompromising integrity and vision, he built the Harvest of the Sea brand through revolutionary processing innovations that continue to define industry standards.
Today, the Shinbane Family continues the legacy that Bill visioned by continuing to lead the aqua~culture industry not only with innovation but also with a goal of creating a socially responsible environment for those families who farm, harvest and process the seafood we provide to you.
