STEVE PHILLIPS – Owner, Phillips Foods Inc, & Seafood Restaurants WORKSHOP: Developing Fisheries Improvement Partnerships: Leveraging Change in Fisheries PANEL: How Seafood Buyers and Suppliers Are Impacting the Sustainability of Data-Deficient Developing Country Fisheries. Steve Phillips comes from a long line of Chesapeake Bay watermen; his grandfather opened a crab picking and processing plant more than 90 years ago on Maryland’s Hoopers Island. His parents, Brice and Shirley Phillips, opened the first Phillips Seafood Restaurant in Ocean City, MD in 1956. After receiving his BS from the University of Miami in the late 1960s, Steve returned to Ocean City to help run the family business. It was Steve who spearheaded the company’s expansion outside of Ocean City into Baltimore and beyond. Today, there are full-service Phillips Seafood Restaurants throughout the Mid-Atlantic and a growing franchise group of airport locations across the country. Difficulties sourcing a consistent supply of quality crabmeat & seafood from the Chesapeake Bay in the late 1980s led Steve on a global search for crab for his family’s restaurants. Crab in Southeast Asia was almost identical to the Chesapeake Bay. He built processing plants in SE Asia for pasteurized meat. Today, Phillips Foods produces over 10 million pounds of blue swimming crab meat/year and sells a full line of seafood products nationally to grocery and club stores, as well as chefs across the country for use in their own restaurants. Steve has taken a leadership role in crab sustainability across Asia. As someone who has experienced firsthand the effects of overfishing in the Chesapeake Bay, he is committed to making sure that doesn’t happen in Asia.
