Young’s Seafood is a heritage British brand that has been a staple of the UK seafood industry for over 200 years. Founded by Elizabeth Young in the early 19th century, the company originally began as a family business specializing in whitebait and shrimping on the Thames. Over the decades, it evolved into a leader of the frozen food sector, famous for popularizing scampi and developing its iconic seafood ranges found in supermarkets across Britain.

Today, the brand operates primarily out of Grimsby, England, which remains the heart of its manufacturing and processing operations. While the majority of production occurs in the UK to serve the local market, the brand sources its raw materials globally, adhering to international sustainability standards. The brand's journey through various corporate ownerships reflects the consolidation of the European food industry, eventually leading to its current status under a major multinational food group.

As of the 2020s, Young’s Seafood is owned by Sofina Foods, a prominent Canadian food processing company. This acquisition integrated Young’s into a global portfolio that also includes other heritage brands like Karro Food Group. Under Sofina's ownership, the brand continues to focus on its traditional British identity while benefiting from the logistical and financial scale of its North American parent company.
