Santa Monica Seafood announced it has acquired the customer base, corporate name, receivables, inventory and other assets of Fish Warehouse Corporation, a Los Angeles-based seafood distributor that has been in business for the past 23 years.

Phil Levy, president of Fish Warehouse, has joined Santa Monica Seafood as a vice president of sales, and approximately 50 prior employees of Fish Warehouse will now be housed at Santa Monica Seafood’s significantly larger 60,000-square-foot facility in Rancho Dominguez.

Santa Monica Seafood is a private, family owned and operated company that has been in the business of supplying quality seafood products since 1939\. The new organization will have approximately 220 employees, with the largest seafood sales, customer service, purchasing and delivery teams in Southern California and the greater Las Vegas area.

“Both companies are quality minded organizations with over 90 years of history in the seafood distribution business,” said Anthony Cigliano, president of Santa Monica Seafood.“The combined customer base of Santa Monica Seafood and Fish Warehouse represents the largest segment of the high quality restaurants, hotels and country clubs in Southern California and Las Vegas. We are proud of this new chapter in our company’s ongoing history.”

Santa Monica Seafood Company is a specialty wholesale distributor of fresh and frozen seafood with its corporate offices and processing facility located in Rancho Dominguez. Santa Monica Seafood has two retail stores — in Santa Monica and Costa Mesa — which specializes in seafood and related specialty products.
