Jeri's Seafood Inc

Listing Information:

Incorporated in 1970 as an outgrowth of Ben and Jeri's Commercial Fishing, Shrimping and Oyster Production Business, Jeri's Seafood has grown into a major producer and processor of oysters during all times of the year. In addition to the public oyster reefs, private oyster leases allow Jeri's to maintain harvest and production of oysters all year 'round, summer and winter offering a supply of oysters to the public without interruption. Jeri's now has a I.Q.F. (Individual Quick Freeze) line that can flash freeze oysters both shucked and on the half shell. This frozen product is stored in Jeri's Large Sub-Zero Freezers and can be shipped across country when supplies of fresh harvested oysters are tight and to those consumers who prefer the convenience of frozen oysters. In addition using IQF process Jeri's strictly complies with the rules and regulations of the selfish sanitation division of the Texas Department of Health and those of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. Requirements, Jeri's is subject to periodic inspections by both the state and federal health authorities and the harvest procedures are constantly monitored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Both Ben and Jeri are longtime members of the interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference, an organization of oyster producers, state shellfish regulators and the FDA, who meet and set the standards for the production and sale of wholesome shellfish product to the American Public. Both have served on committees and task forces of ISSC over the past 15 years. In fact, Ben and Jeri are one of the two couples in existence who attended the first ISSC conference.
