Cuda Co. Fresh Seafood Market
CudaCo. was founded on the premise of providing fresh, sustainably sourced seafood to the greater Charleston community.
Therefore, our #1 priority is in sourcing: we look locally first and then regionally– supporting companies that align with our ethos and ethics. On any given day, we have a variety of the freshest local and national seafood offerings- our market is based on sustainability and sourcing vs. demand.
Packaging is another key priority at CudaCo. We work with companies to ensure the highest standards of quality at the lowest possible carbon footprint for all of our products. It is essential to us that we become changemakers in the industry, as such, we invite you to be part of the movement knowing that your purchase helps support a more sustainable future for aquaculture.

Super Soft Shell Crabs
Chris John has developed these with local peeling houses where the crabs are ‘plucked’ out of the tanks early before the shell leathers too much. These crabs can be delivered quickly and daily to our local markets making the ‘super softies’ a nice option for local restaurants.
Roe Shrimp

In season we take special orders for these critters, they help fertilize rice fields, which makes them a sustainability all star.
