Young's Seafood

Young's Seafood is a British producer and distributor of frozen seafood products. The company's history dates back to 1805, making it one of the longest-established seafood producers in the United Kingdom. Young's Seafood is headquartered in Grimsby, a town traditionally associated with the fishing industry in England.

History

Young's Seafood was founded by Elizabeth Young and her family in 1805, originally as a small fishmonger's shop in London. The business expanded over the years, eventually moving its operations to Grimsby in the late 19th century to take advantage of the town's thriving fishing industry.

In the 20th century, Young's Seafood transitioned from a traditional fishmonger to a producer of frozen seafood products. The company was one of the first in the UK to introduce fish fingers, a product that has since become a staple in British households.

Products

Young's Seafood offers a wide range of frozen seafood products. These include traditional items such as fish fingers and fish cakes, as well as more innovative products like seafood paella and fish pie. The company is also known for its sustainable fishing practices, with many of its products carrying the Marine Stewardship Council's blue fish label.

Operations

Young's Seafood operates several manufacturing sites across the UK, including its main site in Grimsby. The company also has a significant presence in Scotland, where it sources much of its fish. Young's Seafood products are sold in supermarkets across the UK and are also exported to various international markets.
