About Us

Our Story

Porte D’Mer was founded on a simple yet powerful idea: that the world’s finest seafood deserves to be shared, celebrated, and served with integrity.

Led by industry veteran Eric Rose, Porte D’Mer brings together decades of experience, deep global relationships, and an unwavering commitment to quality. With over 40 years in the seafood trade, Eric has built a reputation for sourcing exceptional product and delivering it with consistency and care — values that remain at the core of everything we do.

From humble beginnings in Australia, Porte D’Mer has grown into a premium provider of wild-caught and curated seafood, trusted by chefs, wholesalers, and hospitality professionals across the country. Our range is tailored, our standards are exacting, and our approach is refreshingly personal.

At Porte D’Mer, we’re more than a supplier — we’re a gateway to the sea.
