Located in the heart of Portland, Maine’s commercial fishing district, Browne Trading was established by prominent seafood epicure Rod Browne Mitchell in 1991. Continuing his family’s long tradition in the seafood trade, Browne Trading is nationally renowned for sourcing pristine quality, fresh seafood.
Caviar Importers
Browne Trading has a legacy as the premier provider of fine caviar in the United States. This legacy began with the direct import of caviar from the Caspian Sea, which included wild osetra, sevruga, and of course, the famous beluga sturgeon caviar.
As the wild Caspian caviar market became restricted due to the overfishing of sturgeon, Browne Trading turned to farmed alternatives. Working closely with aquacultures and biologists, Browne Trading began importing farmed sturgeon caviar in the mid-2000s.
Working directly with the farms ensures the traceability and quality, allowing Browne to co-brand. Browne Trading is the only company in the United States that co-brands with producers of caviar. We work closely with sturgeon farms in Belgian, Italy, Israel, China, Georgia and the U.S.A. Currently, we offer osetra sturgeon, siberian sturgeon, hybrid sturgeon, and American white sturgeon caviars.
