About Fin

Back in 2010, there were no local, fresh, sustainable, seafood markets in New York’s Capital District, so partners (in life and in business), Peter Kenyon and Dora Swan, decided to do something about it. It’s that simple!

Pete and Dora are grateful to have started in farmer's markets and parking lots back then, with a focus on sustainable seafood products of the highest quality to an increasing and enthusiastic community and restaurant market. The Saturday Delmar Farmers’ Market was the first local venue to see fin® products. During that initial market season, their little fin stand saw a line of returning customers 20 minutes long on the second Saturday they set up their tent to sell iced, fresh seafood. Word had spread fast! Because of their customer’s commitment to support the small, growing business after the farmer's market season ended, fin continued to sell their seafood in Delmar in a customer’s hardware store parking lot straight through that first winter, pulling up in their refrigerated truck and setting up after spending hours cutting, packaging, labeling and pricing seafood for nearly 100 pre-orders and dozens of walk-up customers. These days, the traditional storefront is open all year round and outdoor venues continue to fill the business calendar from mid-May to mid-October with special events, featuring fin’s prepared menu, taking place all year round.
