About Turner’s Seafood

In 1920, twenty year old James F. Turner emigrated from St. John’s Newfoundland to begin his career on the Boston Fish Pier. In 1954, Jim opened Turner Fisheries, a wholesale company, committed to supplying only the freshest New England seafood. With the growth of the commercial airline industry and the ability to fly fresh seafood anywhere in the U.S, the country’s finest restaurants and clubs began advertising: "Today’s fish flown in fresh from Boston’s Turner Fisheries." Likewise, Turner Fisheries proudly displayed its new title “The nation’s leading quality seafood house." In 1989, John Turner, Jim’s only son, created a new wholesale company, J. Turner Seafoods, in Gloucester, MA specifically designed to accommodate tighter supplies and stricter regulations. John Turner passed his mission of wholesaling only the highest quality seafood to his four sons and they continued to build on these relationships and their reputation for integrity and quality, making "Turners" the most trusted name for New England seafood.

In 1994, John’s four sons opened Turner’s Seafood Grill & Market in their hometown of Melrose, MA. This authentic New England seafood house is complete with a fresh fish market and turn-of-the-century oyster bar. Turners expanded its retail operation to historic Gloucester, the nation’s oldest fishing port in 2006, with Turner’s Seafood Market. In the fall of 2010, the Turner family launched its online Dock to Door Seafood Market shipping fresh fish daily overnight from Gloucester to anywhere in the continental USA. Continuing to expand its culinary footprint and notoriety in offering diners New England's best seafood experience, in November 2013 historic Lyceum Hall in Salem became home to the family's latest seafood restaurant. Turner's Seafood at Lyceum Hall provides classic lunch and dinner fare, creative daily specials, authentic shuck and serve oyster bar and the city's only seafood market. From their classic, New England seafood menu including Oysters Rockefella, Lobster Pie, Newfoundland Finnan Haddie, and Turner's Jonah Crab Cakes, to Chef’s interpretive culinary mastery for creating unique dishes with the season’s freshest ingredients, Turner’s takes great pride in preparing authentic seafood dining the way it should be.  For hours of operation for all locations and more information, please visit www.turners-seafood.com.
