In 2001, New Zealand-based Leigh Fisheries partnered with Richard Adlem and created Lee Fish USA, based in Los Angeles, to service the North American market with the finest wild catch from New Zealand. Over the past two decades Lee Fish USA has grown its product mix and customer base in line with the high-quality benchmark established at the outset. Lee Fish USA’s success is attributed to its expertise in product handling, astute business practices and constant focus on importing the freshest, highest quality seafood in the world.

Customer Service
We hold ourselves to a high standard of communication with our customers. While we are constantly learning and improving our skills and knowledge to ensure satisfaction, these are a few of the customer service values we live by:
- No last-minute surprises: While disruptions are inevitable when importing farmed and wild fresh seafood from the far corners of the globe, that doesn’t mean they need to catch our customers off-guard. We focus on finding solutions quickly and communicating early and often.
- Setting expectations is paramount: Weather and supply are variables that we aren’t always able to control. Our job is to make sure that customers have a realistic expectation as to what they will get on each order so that they can plan accordingly.
- Our success relies on the success of our customers: Education, sales tools and information about the products we represent are always available and communicated with the success of our customer’s sales team in mind.
