welcome to Colorado Seafood Distribution
Redefining Fresh for Colorado Chefs
World-class seafood sourced globally, flown fresh, and delivered straight to your kitchen.
Who We Serve
For Chefs Who Know the Difference
Just as sommeliers select the perfect wine, we source seafood worthy of your craft: the finest, freshest catches from trusted fisheries around the world.
We serve Colorado’s top chefs, sushi masters, and culinary professionals who demand more from their ingredients. Our process ensures every order arrives in your kitchen with the same care and precision you bring to every plate. Whether you’re running a fine-dining restaurant, resort kitchen, or boutique seafood counter, if excellence is your standard, we’re your partner in achieving it.
Problem & Solution
The Freshness Your Guests Deserve
Chefs know that every great dish starts with a pristine product. When it comes to seafood, your guests expect an experience built on freshness they can taste and quality they can trust.
But in Colorado, true freshness can be hard to find. Traditional supply chains often mean your fish has spent days — even weeks — in transit, passing through multiple warehouses before it ever reaches your kitchen.
At Colorado Seafood Distribution, we’re changing that. By working directly with world-class fisheries, we hand-select premium catches, transport them by air to Denver, and deliver them to your kitchen within days of being caught. The result is seafood that arrives vibrant, clean, and tasting as if it came straight from the sea.
The Process
From Fisherman to Chef
Every order follows the same direct, deliberate path that’s built for speed, precision & quality from start to finish.
1. Call or Text Us.
Tell us what you need, whether it’s a specific species, a special request, or inspiration for something new. You’ll always reach a real person who understands seafood and shares your sense of urgency.
2. We Source It.
We coordinate directly with trusted fisheries, oversee packing and transport, and track every shipment from ocean to airport to your kitchen. Each order moves through a carefully timed process designed to protect freshness at every step.
3. You Plate It.
Within days, your seafood arrives in peak condition: vibrant, firm, and ready to elevate your menu. From there, it’s all about your craft.
Our Values
Respect the Catch
From ocean to kitchen, we share your dedication to excellence, because every ingredient, every detail, and every moment matters.
Respect.
We honor the fish, the waters they come from, and the people whose dedication makes it all possible. Every catch represents a shared commitment from ocean to table, and we take pride in preserving that connection with integrity and care.
Quality.
We partner exclusively with fisheries that share our commitment to responsible harvesting and meticulous handling. From clear eyes and brilliant sheen to the clean, saltwater aroma of the ocean, our seafood reflects the highest standards of quality.
Freshness.
It’s at the heart of everything we do and what sets us apart. Our direct-to-chef sourcing means every delivery arrives with a firm texture, vibrant color, and the just-caught flavor that defines truly exceptional seafood.
Creativity.
We champion creativity in every kitchen we serve. By delivering seafood of unmatched freshness and quality, we give chefs the freedom to innovate — transforming inspiration into unforgettable experiences for their guests.
“I’ve always believed in respecting the seafood we harvest in order to have great meals. Part of that respect is making sure the fish reaches a chef’s hands while it’s still a beautiful creature —as close to alive as possible. I want to work with people who care about and respect their seafood as much as I do. ”
Our story
Meet our Founder and Industry Expert
After decades in seafood distribution, Chad saw the industry drifting away from what truly matters: the product and the people who serve it. In 2022, he founded Colorado Seafood Distribution to bring those values back, restoring respect, care, and craftsmanship to every step of the process.
Locally owned and operated in Denver, Colorado Seafood Distribution is built on relationships, both with elite fisheries around the world and with local chefs who know the difference. Chad leads his team like a concierge for seafood: personal, precise, and deeply connected to the passion that drives great kitchens.
