History

Schwarz Fish Company was organized in 1912 by Herman Sr. and William Schwarz. We were originally located on the Sheboygan River and processed only smoked fish. In 1924 the Company moved to its present location at 3028 South 9th Street in Sheboygan. At that time we expanded into fresh fish processing and frozen seafood products.

In 1938 Marcel Schwarz, Herman Sr's son bought the company and since it has been owned and operated by his family. Currently Marcel's son Neil is acting President and daughter Noreen Courthright is Secretary and Treasurer. Also Neil and Noreen's children play an active role in the company.

In 1953 we open our Retail Store on Sheboygan's riverfront. We currently offer a wide variety of smoked and fresh fish, frozen seafoods, homemade deli salads, and carryout fried food.

Our wholesale plant continues to distribute throughout the state of Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Our fresh fish comes from Canada, Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and the Pacfic and Atlantic Oceans. Schwarz Fish Comapny is HACCP certified and operates under strict GMP's as required by the Federal Government.

Our hot smoked fish process has not changed throughout the years. We still process our smoked fish with natural hardwood fires. Using only a food grade salt brine to the percentage required by Federal and State regulations. We use no other additives or preservatives.
