Our Story
I moved with my family to Lafayette Indiana at the end of February, 2008. Shortly after arriving, we discovered a definitive lack of anything that even comes close to resembling quality seafood in my opinion. After spending nearly 30 years of my life in Alaska,
4 ½ years in Tampa, Florida, and 4 ½ years in Portland Oregon, I became rather accustomed to have access to good quality seafood. I had never seen farm raised salmon so prominently promoted as quality seafood prior to coming to Indiana.
A month after arriving in Lafayette, my 15 year old son was diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic. Being insulin dependent, it took my desire for seafood from a "want" to a "need". The reason for that is because of the health benefits of seafood, primarily the high protein with low carbs. It took me on a journey to find quality seafood. I could find nothing in the Lafayette area, and very limited supplies with exceptionally high price in the Indy area. After months of looking, there was an ad in the paper for a local grocer who stated they had "fresh" wild caught Alaskan Salmon. I was overjoyed! I went to this grocer, only to discover that it was more than a week and a half old, and the cost was more than $30 per pound for what I would consider a substandard product. North Shore Seafoods was born at that moment! I utilized my contacts in Alaska to secure the highest quality seafood at West Coast prices. Our goal is to continue to bring the residents of the Lafayette and West Lafayette area the absolute Highest quality Wild Caught and Sustainably harvested Seafood!
Our downtown Lafayette retail storefront is closed, c'est la vie! But this transition out of the downtown Lafayette area comes as a blessing in disguise, as it allows us to expand and improve our offering of the best seafood available to you. We will continue keeping our customers informed of what is new to come, and we will continue providing excellent seafood for those who know the difference of quality; because we know how to select the best! We know seafood!
