Family-Owned. Nationally Connected. Globally Sourced. As part of Monarch Trading’s approximately $1 billion protein platform, Sovereign Seas combines the entrepreneurial spirit and personal accountability of a family-owned business with the sourcing capabilities, infrastructure, and financial strength of a major national protein supplier.
Our ambition extends beyond selling seafood.

We invite our customers, industry partners, and the broader seafood community to discover the Sovereign Seas difference.
