McRoberts Sales Co., Inc. is committed to offering our customers consistent quality products purchased from reliable sources.  As the intermediary between our customers and producers, we support industry improvements for greater seafood sustainability. We encourage our suppliers to implement more sustainable practices to strengthen our supply chain.  As we offer more sustainable product options while continuing to educate our customers with science-based industry data.

Our Supply Chain

McRoberts Sales has been procuring most of our products from the same producers for the last 30 years and all of them are committed to being informed about, and accountable for, seafood sustainability.  Every pound of fish we sell has been legally harvested and packaged under strict seafood safety standards through HACCP.  While we understand the implementation of program ratings, many of the items purchased by the zoo and aquarium community have not been considered.  We believe in responsibly sourcing products from countries that have proven government management and regulator policies.  For this reason, most of our products are procured from North America and the European Union. In addition, we strive to work with those producers that take additional steps towards utilization of bycatches, the use of recyclable packaging materials, and those that are active in the protection and preservation of our resources.  Long term relationships, ethical standards, environmental awareness, and seafood safety and sustainability ensure consistent quality, from responsible, reliable sources.

Our Sustainability Policy

McRoberts Sales continues to provide our customers with production data regarding the sustainability factors of the seafood they purchase since practices in the seafood industry are constantly changing.  We recognize the need and demand for sustainable seafood and pledge to promote sound fishing and business practices to keep our customers informed as new data becomes available to us.  We have a vast inventory of over 60 different species available throughout the year.  This enables us to promote the diversification of diets so that facilities do not become dependent on any one species.  We also consolidated and store our products in regionally located warehouses so we can help reduce carbon footprints.  The chain of custody for every pound of seafood we sell is documented from the point of catch all the way to our customers door.  All these factors help make it possible for our customers to make informed choices about the sustainability of the seafood they purchase from us.

McRoberts Sales makes sustainability our priority and our responsible souring standards help ensure the continuing availability of fish and other species for all our priceless customers under human care, while also leaving enough for the wildlife that depend on it as well.
