Our Story
There’s the love of fish and seafood, then there’s the love of fresh caught fish and seafood. Presteve is all about fresh from the lake, fresh from the river, fresh from the ocean. Innovation brings the fish and seafood to people quickly, perfectly. Presteve supplies our customers with only quality, fresh fish and seafood brought to you through innovation and just good taste.
Presteve began in the 1980s as a fleet of fishing vessels. Today, Presteve is a leading, vertically-integrated harvester, processor and distributor of wild-caught, freshwater fish and other specialty proteins.
Presteve has three base locations of operations strategically located on Lake Erie and Lake Superior, as well as satellite operations situated at key locations of concentrated fishing. Presteve’s base locations are federally-monitored by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and have maintained a rating of “Excellent” since inception.
