Galveston Shrimp Company

The Gulf Coast Advantage

Galveston Shrimp Company ^TM has been family owned since 1978 and was founded by Rosario Cassarino, an immigrant from the Italian island of Sicily. For twenty years he and his wife, Giovanna, unloaded fish and shrimp boats at the historic Pier 19, and sold the catch of the day to Galveston locals and the visiting tourists. In 1994 their son, Nello, took over the daily operations and moved the company to a larger facility that was more accessible to highway transportation. The company began to shift its focus from a retail operation to a wholesale seafood company that now supplies retailers and distributors around the nation.
