Bringing Island Flavor to the Mid-Atlantic: Quaker Valley Foods Now Carries Parrotfish!

Whole parrot fish ready for the oven

For many Caribbean families living in the Mid-Atlantic, food is more than just nourishment—it’s a connection to home, heritage, and community. That’s why Quaker Valley Foods is proud to announce that we now carry wild-caught parrotfish, a beloved staple in Caribbean cuisine.

A Taste of the Islands
Parrotfish, known for its vibrant colors and sweet, delicate flavor, is a favorite in many Caribbean households. Whether it’s fried and served with bammy in Jamaica, grilled on the beaches of Trinidad, or cooked in a rich Creole sauce in Haiti, this reef fish brings the taste of the islands straight to your kitchen.

Now, Caribbean communities in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and beyond can find high-quality, responsibly sourced parrotfish right here at Quaker Valley Foods.
