About Sea Watch International Ltd
The company remains independently owned, with ownership actively involved in daily operations alongside experienced department heads. It began as a clam harvesting and processing venture and has grown into a vertically integrated seafood enterprise. The company harvests surf clams and ocean quahogs using a fleet of 30 to 34 U.S.-flagged vessels in federal waters. Processing occurs across four state-of-the-art plants in Maryland, Delaware, Maine, and Massachusetts, with a co-packing facility in Virginia. These plants produce frozen and canned clam products—chowder, strips, nuggets, sauces, chopped clams, juice, stuffed clams, and concentrates—plus value-added items such as crab cakes, breaded calamari, tempura shrimp, and Super Surfer clam strips. The Milford plant is USDA and Kosher approved for soup production. Co-packing services include custom formula development, canning, portion-pack bagging, zip-locking, and klik-locking, all under HACCP and BRC-certified quality systems. Sea Watch serves a national base of commercial and non-commercial foodservice customers, acts as a major industrial and national-brand co-pack supplier, and supplies many of the top 100 U.S. chain restaurants. An export division handles international sales, and products are also sold through retail channels. The company emphasizes its position as the world’s largest harvester and processor of clam products and the largest independently owned, vertically integrated clam company. It works with the National Marine Fisheries Service under a quota system to manage the fishery sustainably, and its product development team brings more than 30 years of experience to new product creation.
