Expertise
What sets Browne Trading apart is our expertise. Seafood is one of the most complex categories in foodservice. Markets shift, seasons change, weather impacts availability, and quality varies daily. Our team provides proactive communication, market insight, sourcing guidance, and real-world solutions that help kitchens stay ahead of challenges.
Relationships
Browne Trading was founded from one chef’s request: find me the freshest scallops in the United States. From his knowledge of the local waters, experience as a scuba diver, and understanding of the local fishing culture, our founder delivered the now classic “Maine Diver Scallop.” We continue this tradition today, working with trusted purveyors from our own wharf to Portugal and beyond.
Transparency
For decades, Browne Trading has promoted transparency in the caviar industry. Rather than buying from distributors, we import caviar directly from our partner farms. By handling the legal paperwork ourselves, we can ensure that our caviars are labelled with the accurate sturgeon species, country of origin, ingredients, date, and lot number.
These processes, along with rigorous product evaluation by our in-house experts, ensures our chefs can navigate a complex market with confidence. Buying Browne Trading means you receive caviar that is of unrivaled quality, and traceable to its source.
