Welcome to NAFCO

Stanley Pearlman purchased a fledgling seafood distributor - the North Atlantic Fish Company - in 1991. Today, NAFCO is the largest regional seafood distributor in the Mid-Atlantic, serving retail chains and institutional distributors with a full line of fresh, frozen, canned, smoked, salted and live seafood throughout a territory extending from Connecticut to Richmond, VA.

With a facility strategically located on the I-95 corridor and commitments for airspace at all the major international airports from New York to Virginia, NAFCO provides its customers with the freshest products from across the globe, getting your product directly from the source to the shelf.

With a strong team of industry veterans, NAFCO’s market intelligence allows them to “follow the migration,” meaning they know where to go for the seafood you need when you need it. The company’s 75 seafood associates source product internationally, from the Pacific Rim to Russia to South America - when you buy from NAFCO, you buy from the producer.

With NAFCO, you have a partner in your seafood business. In addition to sourcing the finest products from around the world, NAFCO will assist you by analyzing your seafood operation and can design custom merchandising programs to fit your needs. The team at NAFCO will help design in-store promotions, training seminars and many other programs to help you build seafood sales and grow your business.

NAFCO also offers a full private label service - from designing the packaging to sourcing the product to packing it and providing retail support for the line once it’s on the shelf.

To ensure the highest quality, NAFCO became one of the first companies in the Mid-Atlantic to operate under HACCP guidelines of USDC and FDA. The company also supports the Marine Stewardship Council’s international sustained fishery program.
