The Marder name has been attached to the New Bedford scalloping industry since its beginnings in the 1960s when Myron Marder, an accountant by trade, turned fleet owner. Marder’s fleet, the largest in New Bedford during those early years, consisted of 6 wooden-hulled vessels including the commissioning of the Columbia in 1985. It would be the last wooden scalloper ever built. The 88ft Columbia was crafted with 80,000ft of Maine oak - partially for its superior insulating qualities but also to keep wooden craftsmen from going out of business. Myron’s founding principles of good faith and fair dealing continue today at Marder Seafood, a founding member of the American Scallop Association. Marder Seafood continues to operate out of our headquarters in New Bedford, MA USA while providing unmatched product quality and service to customers worldwide.
Every scallop and altantic cod is hand selected to ensure that we only provide the best in quality and freshness.
We're proud to be a founding member of the American Scallop Association and certified by the Marine Stewardship Council and BRCGS
