A recent study has shown that the continuous exploitation of sea creatures and their natural habitat may lead to the complete depletion of saltwater fish by 2048. This has led more companies to adopt sustainable ways to harvest seafood products without impacting the ocean environment and long-term fish supply.
At Tommy’s Seafood, sustainability is at the core of what we do. We are a tried and trusted Louisiana seafood company in New Orleans supplying only the freshest, highest quality seafood to restaurants and retailers across the region.
As a Louisiana seafood company in New Orleans, Tommy's Seafood catches wild, American, sustainable bivalves and shellfish and offers them to distributors and restaurants. We've been doing this for more than 30 years.
We have provided sustainable, wild-caught seafood, such as crawfish, Gulf oysters, blue crab, and wild shrimp, to clients, including the finest restaurants on the land. Our seafood comes from the surrounding waters of the Gulf Coast and Lake Pontchartrain.
We have obtained high sustainability marks from the Marine Stewardship and Council (MSC) and the Audubon Nature Institute. Here at Tommy's, sustainable fishing is more than a business; it's our way of life and advocacy.
