Bristol Seafood

Bristol Seafood We are a locally owned certified B Corp based in the heart of the Portland, Maine waterfront. Today, we’re proud to say that hasn’t changed a bit. Period.

When we started our business in 1992, we promised ourselves that we would never compromise our Maine standards. Quality starts with buying the best fish on earth. That’s why we use line-caught fillets that are frozen at sea and taste fresher than fresh. It’s why we’ll travel the world to find the very best scallops. It’s why we partner with local Maine fishermen to get the very best wild Maine mus

sels from the very best beds. Times might change, but our standards won’t. Here in Maine, we believe anything worth doing is worth doing right. That’s why every aspect of our Maine-owned business starts with responsibility to our product, to our customer, and to each other. Each and every one of our products is sustainably harvested. We meet the Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) chain of custody standard. We’re a founding member of the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, and we care about where our fish comes from and how it was caught. Back in 2014, we developed our recyclable EcoBox, which allowed us to eliminate nearly all of our Styrofoam packaging. And best of all, it’s wax free which makes it fully recyclable. But operating responsibly is about more than our EcoBox. For example, we operate a zero-fish-waste facility – all of our byproducts are recycled for future organic usage. And when we go home at night, we always remember to turn out the lights. We can start with the best fish and the fanciest facility on the pier (which we’re pretty sure we have), but that wouldn’t matter without our world-class team. Like our seafood, we’ve handpicked over 80 of the best, from right here in Maine. We have followed a simple rule: the happier the people, the better the product.

For us, sustainability isn’t an afterthought. It’s at the heart of everything we do.

Our haddock is wild-caught in the cold, clean waters of the North Atlantic, from an MSC Certified fisher that ensures healthy stocks and responsible fishing practices.

From sea to plate:
• Frozen at sea within hours for peak freshness
• Hand-trimmed in Portland, Maine for quality and care
• Zero-waste facility, repurposing every part of the fish
• All-natural ingredients

Every haddock fillet you enjoy is not just delicious, it’s a choice you can feel good about.

Look for us at the fish counter at and taste the difference responsibly sourced seafood makes.

In Norway, fishers are getting ready to head out on the North Sea for Haddock. We have worked with the same, incredible partners to source our haddock for over 30 years - and we are so proud to work with this sustainable, well-managed fishery.

Our MSC certified haddock is caught using traditional longline methods — a selective, low-impact way of fishing that protects ocean habitats and ensures top quality.

There’s nothing cozier than a bowl of New England–style chowder, and we think that our haddock is the star that makes our version shine. 🌊🐟

Its delicate, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture hold up beautifully in a rich, creamy broth—perfect for those chilly evenings when you crave comfort in a bowl.

✨ Try our take on Traditional Haddock Chowder with bacon, potatoes, and cream. It’s simple, hearty, and guaranteed to taste like home (at least like our home here in Maine).

Quick Recipe 🥣

• Poach haddock in seafood stock, set aside
• Cook bacon until crisp, then sauté onion in the drippings
• Add diced potatoes + stock, simmer until tender
• Stir in milk + cream, fold in haddock chunks
• Season, top with parsley + bacon, and serve warm with bread

👉 Find our haddock at your local and make tonight a little more delicious.

🌲 Why cook salmon on a cedar plank? It’s science—and it’s delicious. 🔬🐟

We use real cedar planks for more than just looks. Here’s what’s happening when you cook our Cedar Plank Salmon:

💨 Steam infusion from the soaked wood – Soaked planks release steam on the grill, keeping salmon juicy and tender.

🔥 Smoldering aromatic oils add real flavor – Natural oils, mainly thujaplicins and cedrol from the cedar infuse your fish with a subtle, smoky, woodsy taste.

🧱 Barrier to burning – The plank shields salmon from direct heat, leading to more even, gentle cooking, without drying out or sticking.

🍽️ Perfect top-to-bottom – Browning on top, gentle heat from below resulting in flavor-packed, restaurant-quality salmon right at home.
