Seafood Market in New Bedford, MA
Raymond and Richard Canastra of Fairhaven, Massachusetts, founded the Whaling City SeafoodDisplay Auction in 1994. Since establishment, the Whaling City Seafood Display Auction has become the seafood auction for the port of New Bedford and Southern New England. Prior to the creation of the seafood display auction, the market for the purchase and sale of fresh fish in New Bedford was inefficient, with transactions proving difficult for both sellers and buyers.
