The Fishery
The Fishery
In 1980 Judd Brown turned his love for the sea and life as a bona-fide commercial fisherman into a new venture and Pacific Shellfish Seafood Company was born. In 1996 Judd and his wife Mary Anne purchased and restored a mid-century warehouse in North Pacific Beach. Judd’s steadfast passion for everything fish now includes three seafood-centric enterprises under one roof; a wholesale distribution company vertically integrated with a Seafood Restaurant & Market to create a unique concept not seen anywhere else in the country. The Fishery opened its doors in 1997 and consistently ‘walks the walk’ of the brand.
The strength of the company is due to the collaborative work of many talented, committed and hardworking people. Judd inspires all three components to support healthy and sustainable wild-caught seafood and to treat our fish with respect and expertise. Mary Anne’s passion for design, farm fresh produce and simple clean flavors remain a defining factor in the evolution of The Fishery. Under the leadership of Chef Mike Reidy, The Fishery is at its best. Chef Mike embraces food and community with a deft and creative passion for people and for his craft.
