About CleanFish
CleanFish is a company, an aspiration and a movement to promote seafood that’s the best of the season, better every season. They bring together artisan producers — both fishermen and farmers — and champion them in the marketplace under traceable, transparent brands.
"CleanFish believes that positive change is accelerated when combined with the power of community. As the founder of CleanFish, a group of fishermen, fish farmers, seafood distributors, chefs, retailers and consumers dedicated to positive environmental change, we have seen what can happen when people come together to solve a problem in a marketplace. We believe that by becoming a B Corporation, we can help expedite change in corporate systems and structures by working with other mission-driven companies to develop the next generation of best business practices." — Tim o'Shea, Co-Founder + Chairman
Their network of artisans are stewards of their fisheries, and CleanFish is steward of their stories as they connect producers to chefs and consumers in a celebration of fish you can trust with a difference you can taste. You can read about each type of fish in detail on their website.
The Change We Seek™
Founded in 2004, with offices on both coasts, CleanFish exists to connect upstream producers with downstream eaters and create transitional moments in the seafood industry.
From sourcing, vetting and advising fisheries, to handling the complex logistics of getting seafood from artisan producers in remote communities to discerning markets, to telling the stories of what makes this seafood so transformative - they're there.
