Since 1991, Browne Trading Company has been dedicated to delivering the highest quality seafood, caviar, and gourmet foods to discerning chefs and culinary enthusiasts around the world. Founded by seafood connoisseur Rod Browne Mitchell in the heart of Portland, Maine’s historic fishing district, our company is built on a foundation of transparency and traceability—values that continue to guide every decision we make.

A Legacy Rooted in Quality and Expertise

With a family tradition deeply embedded in the seafood trade, Rod Browne Mitchell understood from the start that excellence in the seafood industry would require more than just fresh products. It would demand a commitment to honesty, education, and uncompromising quality standards. Over the past three decades, these values have set Browne Trading Company apart as a trusted partner to the world’s most prestigious chefs.

We believe that true quality begins with knowledge, which is why our customers are provided with the most accurate information about where and how their seafood is sourced. Rod recognized early on that sourcing transparency was not just a business strategy, but a responsibility—one that ensures both the quality of our products and the sustainability of our industry.

Leading the Way in Caviar Sourcing

When the international trade in wild Caspian caviar faced bans due to environmental concerns, Browne Trading took a pioneering step that would reshape the caviar market. Rod sought to build strong partnerships with sustainable caviar farms, allowing us to offer farm-raised sturgeon caviar of the highest quality. These relationships are integral to our commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.

Today, we remain the only company in the U.S. to feature both our logo and the farm’s logo on the same label. This co-branding is a testament to the trust we’ve built with our farm partners and a promise to our customers that every tin of caviar meets the highest standards of excellence.

Crafting a Sustainable Future

From our in-house smoked salmon to our premium selection of gourmet foods, Browne Trading Company is committed to offering products that reflect our values of transparency, traceability, and sustainability. We take pride in educating our customers about the origins of the food they serve and helping them make informed, responsible choices.

For over 30 years, we’ve built our legacy on more than just products; we’ve built it on trust. Whether you’re a Michelin-starred chef or a home gourmet, when you choose Browne Trading, you’re choosing unmatched quality backed by a commitment to ethical sourcing and sustainable practices.
