The story of Biloxi Shrimp Co. began when our founders, Mark Mavar and Jonathan McLendon, first became business partners in 2006 with the creation of Biloxi Freezing & Processing, Inc. This innovative business strived to provide local commercial clients with the most advanced processing services available from a state-of-the-art, 20,000-square-foot facility located in Biloxi. Building on their families’ extensive heritage in commercial seafood, the business quickly grew and today processes nearly 13% of all wild-caught shrimp in the U.S.
Yet when the COVID-19 pandemic closed many restaurants and slowed commercial demand for fresh Gulf shrimp, Mark and Jonathan saw a new opportunity to offer direct sales to area customers. The high demand to buy wild-caught shrimp quickly became clear, and in June 2020, they welcomed shoppers around the country to order shrimp online via Biloxi Shrimp Co.
