About Us

Handy is America's oldest seafood processor and has consistently maintained the highest quality standards in the seafood industry for over 100 years.

Handy opened a plant in Crisfield on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay in 1894 and began specializing in the processing of the area's best-known delicacy: soft shell crabs.

Our product line has grown to include handmade crab cakes, shrimp products, crab meat, oysters and fish. With each new product we introduce, we continue our focus on quality, great flavor and the use of all-natural ingredients.

In order to conserve resources in the U.S. and to respond to the growing demand for healthy seafood products, we expanded our sourcing and processing to Asia and Central America where fresh seafood is available year round. We manage our plants abroad with the same care and attention to detail that we use at home and maintain close control of every aspect from sourcing to production.

From that first small plant in Crisfield to our current global presence, our company plans to continue with innovation and the development of new seafood items.
