The house
The buyer and the seller.
Seth Souza is the person on the other end of the phone. He buys the fish and he sells the fish. That is not a slogan. That is the job.
The knowledge is older than this website.
Seth’s father spent more than fifty years in the seafood trade. Seth grew up around the product, the people, and the problems — a short pack, shrimp that came in soft, a truck that ran warm, a buyer who needed Friday’s fry held together when the perch was tight. You do not learn that from a deck. You learn it on the floor and on the phone.
Mader Foods is the house we put that work under. Wholesale and distribution. Restaurants. Distributors. Retailers. Institutions. We will not invent a founding year to look older on paper. The family has been in this trade for over fifty years. That is the fact.
We keep the list short on purpose: tilapia, ocean perch, Argentina whiting, catfish, Brazilian snapper, white shrimp, snow crab, pollock, and cod. When something else is right, we will say so. When it isn’t, we will not talk you into it.
No fake reviews. No tonnage brag. If you want a reference, ask Seth. He will give you a name, not a star rating.
How we sell
Straight talk. Then the load.
Buy it right
Seth is on the buy. Species, pack, and plant matter more than a pretty spec sheet. If the lot is wrong, it does not get a second story.
Sell it straight
Price follows the market that week. We will tell you when something is a deal and when it is just available. You decide.
Stand behind the case
Lot codes stay on the box. Claims have a window. Receiving temps are written down. See policies.
