Our Journey in the Seafood Industry

Welcome to Heritage Seafood Ltd.

Established by our founding father in the early 1970s and now proudly led by its third generation, we've grown from a family fishing tradition into a leading exporter of Bahamian lobster tails — while still serving our Nassau community every single day.

We're especially proud that Bahamian spiny lobster became the first lobster fishery in the Caribbean to earn Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification in 2018 — a standard we help uphold with every catch, bringing the taste of the Bahamas to tables around the world.
