M R Seafoods is a business with a mission to provide fresh fish for local consumers, Island restaurants and tourists.
Mickey grew up in the fishing industry, as many Prince Edward Islanders do. He fished with his father off the East Coast of PEI as a teenager, and soon became interested in the technical side of the industry. In college he studied quality control, becoming a certified technician which lead to management positions at a selection of fish plants, learning the ropes for seven years. Leveraging his experience and education, he became general manager of a seafood processing operation and held that position for the next sixteen years.Mickey also worked for DND and helped start fish contracts throughout Canada. As a consultant he is in high demand, assisting fish plant start ups establishing supply and smooth out product and management duties.
After twenty-three years in the seafood industry, Mickey launched MR Seafoods in the spring of 2007, and currently employs 8 staff members.
Mickey and his wife Mary decided it was time to have their own building, so in April 2014, they bought land at 61 Thompson Drive and began building (with Burgoyne Construction) their new establishment. MR Seafoods new shop was completed in Feb 2015. Come stop by the new shop and see what we have to offer!more...See more text
When we can't get fresh from the wharf, MR Seafood is our next place to go. We have had many terrific meals as a result of what we have purchased. Our favourites: fresh scallops, fresh haddock, and mussels.
I heard so many great things but was very disappointed. The salmon I purchased was average in quality but the lady at the counter was very condescending with me when I asked about the soft tissue and fishy odour. Overall... poor selection, okay quality and spotty customer service means I will not be returning. Avoid disappointment and look elsewhere for fresh and local!
