JJ McDonnell is an established market leader in the Maryland, Washington D.C, and Northern Virginia region, with recent expansion into North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Our products include an extensive variety of high-quality fresh and frozen seafood products, and our primary customers include retail stores, bar & grill clients, multi-unit concepts, as well as steakhouses, small 'Mom and Pop' restaurants, and large national retail chains.

We offer a wealth of knowledge, information and education about the seafood industry and the products our customers are buying and serving. It's our pleasure and purpose to provide seafood, services, and support that help our customers enhance their own businesses. In an ever-complex industry, our culture of integrity, transparency, and trust, both with our staff and our customer, is paramount.

We take pride in fostering sustainable practices in as many avenues as possible including our sourcing, packaging and shipping and working with local watermen to nurture the health of the Chesapeake Bay and our local species.

Our balanced customer base, and the internal culture we have nurtured, have helped navigate pandemic-challenged times. Key relationships with customers, boats, docks, chefs, stores, and our team have grown and flexed to make adjustments to keep rolling forward.

Many of our J.J. McDonnell leadership team have worked from the ground up, including the excitement of buying beautiful fish straight off the boat, and selling, hiring, fostering, and developing outstanding team members in each department—all with the shared mission of bringing integrity, a drive to excel, company pride, teamwork, and professionalism to serve our customers.
