Maryland Watermen's Association Partnership

We’ve partnered with the Maryland Watermen’s Association to help give back to the Chesapeake Bay.

For the past several years, Phillips Seafood has raised money for the Maryland Watermen’s Association through sales of two items: our specialty Blue Crab Margarita and our 100th Anniversary Cookbook.

The Maryland Watermen’s Association is dedicated to the interests of all who derive beauty and benefit from Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay waters, making the partnership with the Phillips family a natural fit. “I come from a family of Maryland watermen and have worked closely with Maryland watermen all my life to supply seafood for our family’s Hoopers Island processing plant and restaurants,” said Steve Phillips. “Without them, our family business would not have grown to where it is today. We’re proud to stand behind the Maryland Watermen’s Association in their efforts to protect the heritage and future of our commercial watermen.”
