Time-Honored BrandShanghai Aquatic Products · Shanghai · Founded
Rooted in Shanghai's rich fishing heritage, Shanghai Aquatic Products has been a cornerstone of the city's seafood supply for decades. From traditional preservation methods to modern sustainable practices, the brand embodies the essence of Shanghai's maritime culture and culinary wisdom.
Brand Story
The history of Shanghai Aquatic Products dates back to the opening of Shanghai as a treaty port, when the city gradually became a major aquatic products distribution center. In the early 20th century, the Shiliupu Wharf area formed a large-scale seafood market, gathering catches from the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and even distant oceans. In 1956, during the wave of public-private partnership, related enterprises were consolidated to become a core force in the state-owned aquatic supply system. For decades, it ensured the supply of seafood to Shanghai residents, witnessing the transition from a planned economy to a market economy. In the 21st century, the Shanghai Aquatic Products Group (now under Bright Food Group) continues this legacy, focusing on deep-sea fishing and marine food development. Although the exact founding year has not been officially verified, its profound historical heritage remains an integral part of Shanghai's urban memory.
