If you are in the market for quality, fresh, and frozen seafood and friendly service with a smile, look no further than Caudle’s Catch Seafood. After moving to Waterloo region in the early 1980s, the family quickly saw an opportunity to share their Maritime roots (and love of seafood) with their new community.

As a well-established local business, the family and staff at Caudle’s Catch Seafood understand the importance of giving back to the community that has supported them over the years.

Caudle’s Catch Seafood has been a dedicated food industry partner of The Food Bank since 2015 and in that time they have participated in food and fund drives, community events as well as providing regular seafood donations. Their support has helped to provide more than 114,000 meals to those in our community in need of food assistance.

In our latest business profile, we chat with Monica Caudle, Human Resources and Marketing manager, Caudle’s Catch Seafood, about the importance of collaboration and how working together can help build stronger, healthier communities.
