Red's Best was founded in 2008 by Jared Auerbach, a young fisherman from Boston who worked on commercial vessels in Alaska and Cape Cod during the early 2000s. Working alongside hardworking fishermen, Jared witnessed how industrial technology and governmental regulation of open oceans caused traditional fishing communities and family fishing businesses to struggle for survival. He also saw the abundance of species available in New England's pristine cold waters and set out to create a way for consumers to have direct access to the freshest seafood.
To achieve his vision, Jared built robust, proprietary data management software that enables Red's Best to handle massive amounts of small inbound data points. Their system electronically tracks daily catch from the moment a fisherman offloads their vessel onto a Red's Best truck or one of their dockside facilities. The company takes possession of entire catches, uploads all catch data, and maintains an unbroken chain of custody through processing, packaging, labeling, and shipping, creating an innovative technology and logistics platform that reduces the distance between consumers and fishermen.
At its core, Red's Best serves as a service provider to commercial fishermen, unloading their boats when they return from fishing and moving their catch into the marketplace to maximize the profitability of their fishing business. The company operates under four core values: Fishermen First, Winning Mindset, Professionals Only, and Be the Best. They work with fishermen responsibly harvesting sustainable seafood from Nova Scotia to Florida, believing the Western Atlantic Ocean is a very well managed natural resource and following fish migrations to keep supply as steady as possible through their network of fishermen.
