Brooklyn, NY 1923– Peter  L. La Monica opened a small seafood shop that specialized in fresh, locally harvested seafood.

As the business thrived, the demand for fresh seafood increased. To  meet this challenge,  Peter LaMonica expanded into the fishing business.  Soon after, Cape May Foods was formed to process and pack  high quality food products from the sea for the retail and restaurant trade.     

Today, LaMonica Fine Foods is a bustling seafood supplier.  In addition to the largest hand-shucking  plant with more then 300 employees,  LaMonica operates its own fishing fleet and state-of-the-art packing facility.  Under the brand names of La Monica and Cape May, the company sells both fresh and frozen clam products; chopped and minced canned clams, sea and ocean clams and juice. Scungilli and Calamari are also packed  under the LaMonica brand.

“Hand Shucked”  Pre-Fried Clam Strips are produced in our Millville facility and our fried clams are sold to many of the top national restaurant chains.  Our retail packaged Fried Clam Strips are found in many supermarkets and chains.

LaMonica Fine Foods commitment to quality remains as strong today as the day the company was formed.
