Seafood at Evans is not an ‘everything to everybody’ type program but one where quality, freshness, and sustainability are at the focus.  Our suppliers and fisherman practice the same values and provide us with unique and quality oriented products from the sea.

 

Viking Village has long been recognized in all the East Coast markets as the standard-setter for quality in each of the fisheries in which they participate.  In addition to their dedication to quality, they are equally committed to a philosophy of sustainable harvesting.  Their commitment to quality has culminated in their “Viking Fresh Sushi Grade” scallop program.  In this program, unprecedented in the industry, every container of scallops are inspected by qualified Viking Village personnel for count, texture, freshness and uniformity.  None of their scallops are ever precessed or treated with chemicals and thus are truly “dry” scallops retaining their as-shucked size, weight and consistency.

CleanFish is a company, an aspiration and a movement to promote seafood that’s the best of the season, better every season.  They bring together artisan producers — both fishermen and farmers — and champion them in the marketplace under traceable, transparent brands.  Their network of artisans are stewards of their fisheries, and Clean Fish are stewards of their stories as they connect producers to chefs and consumers in a celebration of fish you can trust with a difference you can taste.  Clean Fish brings Loch Duart Scottish Salmon to Evans.  These fish have more room to swim and grow than that of industrial farmed salmon.  They are raised without the use of horomones, antibiotics, and growth promoters and their feed is very close to that of their natural diet.

Sea Pearl Shrimp is based in the Gulf Coast village of Bayou La Batre, Alabama.  Their knowledge and respect for the industry is rooted in years of working on their own shrimp boats, making a living from the sea.  Shrimping has long been a way of life at Sea Pearl is They believe that when a hard-earned harvest of shrimp arrives that it should leave the plant as the finest shrimp available anywhere--the kind you will remember.  Delivering the freshest shrimp is their goal; if a catch doesn't meet their standards it will not be processed.  When you buy from Sea Pearl, you're buying from people who know shrimp. And you're buying from people who work hard every day to provide the kind of top quality shrimp that are in great demand all over the world.
