Responsibly Sourced Seafood

Making a difference

We believe our commitment to bring our customers the very best is a never-ending journey. Part of that journey leads us to focus our efforts on a responsibly sourced seafood supply. We are proud of our seafood, and we want our people and our customers to know about it.

From the fresh seafood counter and the Sushi department, to the Wegmans Brand products in the freezer case and the canned tuna in the grocery aisle, we partner only with trusted suppliers who meet our high standards and share our value of making a difference. We require them to follow best practices to help protect natural resources. Our merchants personally visit supplier facilities and rely on codes of practice and third-party audits to implement and verify our rigorous specifications. These steps help us support fishermen, their families, and their communities while offering affordable seafood of the highest quality to our customers.
