Young's Seafood

Young's Seafood is a leading British producer and distributor of seafood, with a heritage dating back over 200 years to its founding in Greenwich in 1805. The brand is particularly renowned for pioneering the commercial production of scampi in the 1940s and for its popular 'Gastro' and 'Chip Shop' frozen product ranges.

The majority of Young's manufacturing operations remain centered in the United Kingdom, specifically in Grimsby, which serves as the brand's primary hub for processing and logistics. This local manufacturing presence is a core part of its identity as a staple British food brand.

In terms of ownership, Young's underwent significant corporate changes in recent years. In 2019, it was acquired by the Eight Fifty Food Group, which was subsequently purchased by Sofina Foods in 2021. Today, Young's Seafood is a key part of Sofina Foods Europe, owned by the Canadian-headquartered Sofina Foods Inc., one of North America's largest food processing companies.
