RUGGIERO SEA FOOD, INC.
NEWARK, NJ

Ruggiero Seafood, Inc. is a distinguished seafood company with a rich heritage that spans five generations of experience in the industry. The roots of its legacy trace back to a quaint fishing village in Italy. In New York during the late-1920s, Andrew Ruggiero established a modest seafood business which rapidly grew into a prominent retail fish market known for serving premium seafood offerings. By the 1960s, Francesco Ruggiero joined the venture and together they expanded operations to encompass wholesale distribution to premier restaurants and outlets throughout New York. Under the visionary leadership of Rocco Ruggiero, President of the company since 1971, Ruggiero Seafood introduced groundbreaking techniques for processing domestic calamari. By utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, Rocco successfully revolutionized the industry by enabling cost-effective production that rivaled imported varieties. This led to the opening of the first seafood processing plant in 1981, exclusively dedicated to processing fresh, frozen, and breaded products derived from locally caught calamari. Guided by a mission to diversify and add enduring value through exceptional customer service and consistent product quality, Ruggiero Seafood stands as the benchmark for excellence in calamari and seafood offerings across the market. With an unwavering commitment to delivering full value on every purchase, the company emphasizes integrity and reliability in customer relationships. Presently incorporated under Florida jurisdiction with status F18000001016, the organization is headquartered at 474 Wilson Ave., Newark, NJ, having been founded on February 27, 2018.
