Beyond the Coast: Where Great Seafood Meets Great Relationships
When most people think of premium seafood, they picture the coast — the docks, the boats, the salty air.
But the real story of quality seafood unfolds far beyond the shoreline — in the kitchens, markets, and restaurants where consistency matters more than proximity.
That’s where Southstream Seafoods stands apart. All year long, our sales team is on the road — visiting chefs, distributors, and foodservice partners across the U.S..
From bustling gastropubs in Texas to regional distributors in the Midwest, their mission is simple: to build relationships rooted in trust, and to make sure every customer can deliver seafood that performs perfectly, plate after plate.
“Consistency is the new luxury,” says Southstream CEO Mark Soderstrom. “Chefs can’t afford to gamble on freshness. They need seafood that performs — every plate, every time.”
And in 2025, that consistency is becoming even more critical.
Two major global developments are reshaping how seafood is sourced, regulated, and valued:
- The High Seas Treaty, ratified by over 80 nations, will take effect in 2026 — introducing new governance for sustainable fishing in international waters.
- The WTO Fisheries Subsidies Agreement, enacted this September, is cutting harmful subsidies and pushing fleets toward greater accountability.
Both point to the same truth: transparency and traceability are now the true currency of trust in seafood.
That’s why Southstream partners exclusively with fisheries that meet the highest global standards — names like Frostmark, Thorfish, I&J, and Midnight Sun. The result: clean, single-frozen fillets that deliver the same flawless quality in Dallas, Denver, or Des Moines as they do in Boston or Seattle. Because quality seafood shouldn’t be a privilege of geography — it should be the standard everywhere.
At Southstream, we believe strong supply chains start with stronger relationships.
Whether it’s face-to-face meetings, product demos, or just a check-in call, our team’s commitment goes beyond the sale — it’s about partnership, reliability, and doing things the right way.
