J&W Seafood of Deltaville, Virginia

JW seafood in Deltaville, vaIn 1982, Kevin Wade began selling oysters out of a pickup truck in the town of Deltaville, Virginia. He would visit local restaurants and grocery stores, take orders and deliver a fresh product the next day.

His mother and father were owners of one of the most famous restaurants in the Chesapeake Bay area – Taylor’s Restaurant. His father had taught him everything from how to run an efficient business and most importantly, demanding only the highest quality when dealing with seafood and Kevin’s mother was the backbone of the business with her hard work and dedication. Kevin quickly outgrew his pick-up truck and built a small facility with a retail storefront in downtown Deltaville. The seafood company is owned and operated by the Wade family.

Over the years his business grew. The retail storefront became a place where everyone would buy fresh local seafood and fishing gear. The wholesale side of his business began to develop as he began shucking oysters, hand-picking crabs for fresh crab meat and shedding soft shell crabs. Kevin began to develop his business with the production of fresh Chesapeake Seafood and his facility was given the distinction of a model processing facility with the Virginia Department of Shellfish and Sanitation.

Today, J&W Seafood has 2 plant locations and 2 retail storefronts.

Their soft shell crabs are known for their wonderful taste and distinct quality. J&W Seafood products are distributed through only reputable retailers throughout the country.
