The Chattanooga Seafood Company, at 1743 Dayton Boulevard in Red Bank, is now open for business. Owner Thomas Jones, better known as TJ, wanted to meet the demand for a fresh seafood market in the area.
Mr. Jones enlisted the expertise of Jeff Simmons, a lifelong friend from Chattanooga.
Mr. Simmons has over 25 years of experience with his successful seafood store, Seafood Station, in Loveland, Ohio. He shared his knowledge with Mr. Jones as he developed his unique business plan to bring only the freshest seafood to his community and the surrounding cities.
The Chattanooga Seafood Company will feature ten to fifteen types of seafood and shellfish such as oysters, clams, crab, and lobster. The selections will change to reflect the various types of seafood in season and local market preferences.
Mr. Jones plans to feature his own in-house smoked salmon and eventually plans to offer salmon jerky. In addition to the salmon, his menu will include grab-and-go items such as soups, spreads, sauces and dips. As his business grows, Mr. Jones wants to offer customers an even larger selection of seafood and various side items.
“Eventually I also plan to add grab-and-go meals along with my own in-house fish stock,” said Mr. Jones. “We’ll have something in stock for every seafood lover.”
