About Us
Whitby Seafoods is an independent private company, founded in 1985, employing 140 people in the North Yorkshire fishing port of the same name. Specialising in frozen seafood coated in batter and breadcrumbs, the business processes up to 3000 tonnes each year and realises an annual turnover of £15 million across the UK in both food service and retail sectors.
Whitby Seafoods acquired Middleton Seafoods in 2007. Middleton Seafoods is based in Kilkeel, Northern Ireland and has a turnover of around £6 million. Over 20 years Middelton has built up a solid reputation as one of the industry’s most efficient processors and has a well established customer base in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
The Whitby and Middleton partnership is focused on working together to be the number one scampi manufacturer. In an increasingly competitive frozen seafood market the alliance of the two companies will create a strengthened position from which we will have the ability to deliver better value to all our customers, whether they be caterers, wholesalers, retailers or the end consumer.
Caterers throughout Britain can buy the range through frozen food wholesalers or cash & carry operators. For details of the frozen food wholesaler delivering to your region, click here.
