Phil Walsh

Phil Walsh has been buying and selling seafood since 1976, after graduating from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in Fisheries and Marine Technology. In addition to creating profitable seafood departments as Director of Seafood at Kings Supermarkets, Harris Teeter Supermarkets and Stop & Shop Supermarkets (where he established the nation’s first sustainable seafood program in conjunction with The New England Aquarium), he created profitable seafood programs at Metro New York Sysco, Porky Products, DiCarlo Distributors, and Alfa Gamma Seafood.

He has been an adjunct professor at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science for the past ten years, where he teaches a Level 6 graduate course in marketing to master’s candidates in aquaculture. A frequent speaker at industry events and noted industry columnist, he makes clear his aversion to fraud of any kind in seafood.
