It all started with Jack McGeough. Jack—a former professional hockey player, tennis player, and avid fisherman—took over a small fleet of boats in Newport, Rhode Island. Originally known as Wickford Shellfish, that small company expanded its offerings and quickly earned a reputation for high-quality seafood products. Jack’s vision soon took him around the world to source seafood, building lasting relationships in China and India—both of which became key foundations for the future of Newport International.
Across the Jack’s Catch and Pacific Cove brands, Newport International provides a wide variety of seafood products, with a core focus on pasteurized crab meat. Every product is harvested and processed under strict quality control standards to ensure consistency, freshness, and exceptional flavor in every bite.
From our state-of-the-art processing facilities to our comprehensive inspection procedures, every step of our supply chain is designed to deliver seafood our customers can trust.
In addition to our dedication to quality, Newport International is committed to sustainable seafood sourcing. By partnering with fisheries and organizations such as the NFI Crab Council, we help protect crab populations and preserve marine ecosystems for generations to come.
With over 60 years of experience, Newport International continues to lead the seafood industry with innovation, responsibility, and an unwavering focus on delivering the best crab meat and seafood products available.
