Our roots date back to the early 1900s, when Angelo Pirri, a Sicilian fisherman who immigrated to the United States, settled in Bristol, RI and began selling fish locally. He passed on his knowledge and skills to his son, Anthony &#8220;Tony&#8221; Pirri, who served in the U.S. Army&#8217;s 129th Division during World War II before returning home to continue working with his father.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1456355415446{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text responsive_text_min_max=&#8221;16|17&#8243;]After his father&#8217;s passing in 1947, Tony formally established Tony&#8217;s Seafood, which was later expanded by his children Angelo and Nikki-Ann in 1978 with the opening of a wholesale and retail operation in Seekonk, MA. In 1997, Angelo Pirri designed a state-of-the-art processing plant in Warren, RI, which is now home to the wholesale and processing division of Tony&#8217;s Seafood.<\/p>\n<p>Today, our retail store in Seekonk, MA is still owned and operated by the Pirri family, specifically Angelo&#8217;s oldest son, Anthony. Meanwhile, the Wholesale division in Warren, RI is managed by Angelo, his wife Jeanne, and his sons Mark and Dominic. As a fourth-generation business, Tony&#8217;s Seafood is proud to continue its family tradition of selling the finest quality seafood available. Trust us to bring the taste of tradition and excellence to your table.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;401&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1456355408550{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text responsive_text_min_max=&#8221;16|17&#8243;]Discover the rich history and family legacy behind Tony&#8217;s Seafood!
