La Monica Fine Foods

General information

LaMonica Fine Foods began in Brooklyn, NY in 1923. Peter L. LaMonica opened a small seafood shop that specialized in fresh, locally harvested seafood. His business thrived as the demand for fresh seafood increased. To meet this challenge, Peter expanded into the fishing business. Soon after, Cape May Foods was formed in Cape May, NJ to process and pack high quality seafood for the retail and restaurant trades.

In July of 2000 the company purchased a larger, newer facility in Millville, NJ. Production began in 2001 and the total relocation to Millville was completed by 2005. Also in 2005, Cape May Foods changed its name to LaMonica Fine Foods to honor its founder, Peter.

Today, under the direction of his grandchildren, LaMonica Fine Foods is a bustling seafood supplier. In addition to the largest Hand Shucking plant with more then 300 employees, LaMonica operates our own fishing fleet and state-of-the-art packing facility. Our clams are Wild Caught, and our entire product line is a Product of the USA.

Under the brand names of LaMonica and Cape May, we sell both fresh and frozen canned clam and seafood products. Our "Hand Shucked" Breaded Clam Strips are sold to many top national restaurant chains and retailers. In addition to our company brands, we are proud to pack private label products.

LaMonica Fine Foods stands for unsurpassed Quality, Innovation and Customer
Responsiveness. Family tradition has driven the way that we do business. Our commitment to quality remains as strong today as the day the company was formed.
