Our History
Four generations of family tradition
The Welsh family has owned Reliant Fish Company since the late 1940s, when James J. Welsh Sr. bought the business at the Baltimore Fish Market. Now in its fourth generation, the company has grown into a full-line processor and distributor — while keeping the same commitment to quality, service, and trust that started it all.
