Product Spotlight
Full detail on every species and pack size lives on the Products page — this is the short version.
Tichon has cut and processed fish since 1943. Located directly on New Bedford's waterfront, we offload straight from the boat into our own HACCP-certified facility and cut fresh every day. We use the entire fish through our process, which keeps waste low and pricing competitive.
Our signature Refreshed product is Alaskan H&G codfish, long-lined from the Bering Sea and frozen at sea within minutes of dressing, then held in our Massachusetts-licensed freezer. We slack out product daily to meet each order, filleted and skinned on our own equipment, then every fillet is inspected by our quality control team before packing. Custom pack sizes are available on request.
New Bedford has been the highest-valued fishing port in the United States since 2000, largely due to the strength of the North Atlantic sea scallop fishery. At Tichon Seafood, we operate two of our own scallop vessels—the Patriots and the Raiders—and supplement our supply through the daily New Bedford scallop auction, ensuring a consistent source of premium-quality scallops year-round.
Since 1977, we have built a dedicated fresh scallop program, with every scallop hand-graded in our HACCP-certified facility to meet the highest standards of quality and consistency. We customize pack sizes and specifications to meet each customer's unique needs.
In addition to our fresh scallop program, Tichon Seafood offers a complete line of frozen scallops sourced from both domestic and international fisheries, as well as fresh imported (foreign) scallops. This allows us to provide our customers with dependable year-round availability, consistent quality, and a variety of product options to meet their specifications and budget.
Beyond our core fish and scallop programs, we handle squid and shrimp on a buyer-specific and seasonal basis. Availability varies — contact us directly for current stock.
Waterfront Facility
Being located directly on New Bedford's waterfront means product moves from boat to plant without delay. Combined with our own ice production, that keeps the cold chain intact from the moment a vessel ties up.

Tichon sits directly on New Bedford's waterfront, so product moves off the vessel and into our HACCP-certified facility without delay.
We custom pack scallops and fresh fish fillets to any specification.
Two North Star industrial flake ice machines produce an average of 40 tons of sub-cooled flake ice daily, backed by 100 tons of on-site storage.
Two large cold storage freezers make Tichon a Massachusetts-licensed cold storage facility with capacity beyond 2,000,000 lbs.
Dock to Buyer
Every order moves through the same five steps, whether it's a gallon of dry-packed scallops or a pallet of refreshed cod.
