Quay Fresh & Frozen Foods is a family owned seafood processing business based in New Quay, West Wales
History
HISTORY
The quarry was originally a meeting place for local fishermen and vivier lorries – live holding tanks.
The catches of live crab and lobster were collected and transhipped for sale into Europe. The site quickly evolved and lobster tanks were built enabling larger quantities of live product to be stored before being collected for export.
HISTORY
In the late 70s, Johnny Arrow, the first generation and Grandfather of the family acquired the lease for the land and their journey began.
Johnny was a visionary, and soon saw an opportunity to process and vacuum pack whole crab, and a factory was built.
Present day
Present day
In the late 90s Mandy and Dean (Johnny’s Daughter and Son In Law) helped to develop an emerging market for whelk in Asia, and the Welsh whelk made its way into the bars and restaurants of South Korea.
Currently in its third generation, the family now specialise in processing whelk which are sustainably sourced using traditional pots
(a low impact method of fishing).
