Andrade's Catch

About the Farm

In 1987, Gigi and David Andrade opened the doors to Andrade's Catch in Bristol, Rhode Island, driven by their passion for sharing exceptional seafood with their community. As littleneck connoisseurs, fishermen, and devoted partners, they established a rhythm that would define their business for decades. David spent his mornings digging for clams and afternoons delivering fresh catches to restaurants throughout Rhode Island, while Gigi ran the shop with remarkable expertise, educating customers and serving what many consider the best fish and chips the town has ever tasted.

The Andrade legacy expanded as their three children grew up immersed in the family business, with old photographs capturing them sitting in lobster crates and aboard David's skiff. Davy, the youngest, officially joined the team during high school and has since devoted himself to mastering every aspect of the operation, growing the wholesale business significantly. When Davy married Victoria in 2020, she brought her culinary background and retail expertise to expand the market's offerings, adding a carefully curated pantry section with premium ingredients and specialty items.

Raised on the water with deep respect for Mother Nature's bounty, the Andrade family practices sustainable fishing methods and maintains strong relationships within the seafood community. They work alongside fellow Rhode Island fishermen to provide fresh, locally dug quahogs seven days a week, focusing on one of the region's most sustainably harvested products. Though Gigi is no longer with them, the family continues her legacy of community service, combining their commitment to environmental stewardship with their mission to educate others about the seafood industry while preserving local waters for future generations.
