Harbor House Seafood was incorporated in 1985 by partners Mark Bryan and Gary Colbourne. Both individuals were born and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, went to school together and later started working on the water together. In 1985 they purchased the existing business from Gary’s brother and the rest is history. At the time they started the business there was only a small retail store operation selling to our local customers. They expanded the business and now have a fleet of their own trucks delivering to the Mid-West, West coast and East coast daily along with daily air shipments, employing offices on both coasts to sell their product. A retail sales store is still maintained on the premises, and provides numerous products to local customers and also provides shipments of seafood all over the United States.
Harbor House Seafood boasts an oyster packing facility on site and a 17,000 sq ft warehouse where fish is special cut daily for delivery to customers, and also is a facility for housing lobsters and crabmeat. In October 2007 we acquired a second facility in NJ which is situated directly on the Delaware Bay and has its own fleet of boats. This allows us to provide more products to our customers. In addition we are HAACP approved.
Harbor House Seafood, Inc uses the vast resources of the bay and our fleet of boats to harvest products from public beds in season and our own private beds whereby products are available 12 months a year. We offer clams, oysters, crabs and all types of local fish to our customers on both coasts. We have our own brand “Chesapeake’s Best Brand” of oysters.
