In a city powered by extraordinary food, choosing the right purveyors can be the difference between running a good kitchen—and a great one. At LP Seafood & Specialty (LPSS), we’ve earned a reputation as the Best Seafood Wholesaler in New York by combining cutting-edge food safety standards, chef-driven sourcing, and a carefully curated specialty food lineup that delivers far more than just seafood. And, for the past 4+ years, we’ve built a growing line of gourmet specialty foods. Whether you’re a fine-dining chef, caterer, hotel buyer, or foodservice director, here’s why LPSS is the NYC seafood purveyor top kitchens trust. 

SQF-Certified for Safety and Peace of Mind 

Food safety is non-negotiable. LPSS is one of the few NYC seafood wholesale companies operating with a Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification, a rigorous global standard backed by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). SQF certification means: 

Full traceability from origin to delivery 

HACCP-compliance 

Sanitation that exceeds federal standards 

Audited by third-party food safety experts 

With LPSS, you get more than quality—you get confidence. 

Sustainability That’s Certified and Verified 

As a NYC seafood purveyor committed to responsible sourcing, LPSS maintains both Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) Chain of Custody Certifications. That means your certified seafood: 

Comes from fisheries and farms that meet strict sustainability criteria 

Is fully traceable through every handoff in the supply chain 

Aligns with the environmental values of today’s diners and tomorrow’s chefs 

It’s not just about saying it’s sustainable. We prove it—every day. 

Precision Cut-to-Order: Built for Performance 

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fillets. Our cut-to-order fish program gives you exactly what you need, when you need it. 

Custom portions cut by expert seafood butchers 

Same-day processing and packing 

Maximize yield, consistency, and cost control 

It’s the precision you need to run an efficient kitchen—with the quality your guests expect. 

Live Lobster & Rapid Delivery Across New York, NJ, and Connecticut

We’re trusted by the most demanding kitchens to deliver:
