Our History
Island Seafare was established in 1991 by Tim Croft who was previously a fishermen and scallop processor on the Isle of Man. The aim was to grow the reputation of the Isle of Man into a world renowned supplier of King Scallops.
The business expanded from King Scallops and new markets were established for Isle of Man Queen Scallops (Queenies), now world famous. As Island Seafare's reputation grew for the supply of scallops new markets and relationships were forged with Island Seafare working closely with many retailers in France as well as wholesalers across France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands and Belgium.
Over the years the business has grown and now sources and supplies produce not only from the Isle of Man, but all over the British Isles.
Now with many years of experience Island Seafare is one of the leading suppliers and exporters of live, fresh and frozen shellfish and seafood partnering with many suppliers to deliver all over the UK and Europe in various different formats to suit customer requirements.
