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.
