PETER JARVIS
President, CEO & Chief Fishmonger
“You never know where your journey will take you,” says Peter Jarvis, when asked about how he got to be a fishmonger. Spending summers on Cape Cod, working as a ski instructor in Vermont, and then a bartender at the Bull and Finch Pub of Cheers fame, Peter and his wife Suzanne made their way to Florida over 30 years ago.
Then, Peter opened Triar Seafood, a boutique wholesale company providing fresh fish and stone crabs via overnight delivery to chefs around the nation. Working with local day boat fisherman, Peter’s team hand selects only responsibly harvested seafood, filets and packages it for overnight shipping within a few hours of arriving dockside, so you know it is fresh.
Peter has served on the Board of the Southeastern Fisheries Association, to support responsible harvesting by the commercial fishing industry while maintaining sustainable stocks of fish.
Peter has developed a reputation in the restaurant industry for supplying the freshest quality seafood with consistent service, which has given peace of mind to such renowned chefs as Jeremy Ford, Brooke Williamson, Rick Bayless and other professional cooks from around the world.
Now, Peter is offering the freshest seafood to the home chef, delivered from dock-to-door within a day of its source. Peter’s Florida Seafood is a retail market for serious seafood lovers! Now you can order overnight direct delivery to your home instead of searching for seafood in local markets that may have taken many days to ship from sea to store.
