About Us

Water Cat Seafood was founded by Alec Solano, a former fine-dining cook turned professional fishmonger. After years of working in professional kitchens and being around whole fish, Alec found a passion for fish butchery. 

That passion became Water Cat Seafood. We work with producers from Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and across the United States to bring unique, premium seafood to Rhode Island. We take pride in sourcing products we'd be excited to cook, serve and share ourselves.

Whether you're a chef looking for something special or someone who simply loves great seafood, our goal is to offer products with a story, handled with care from the moment they're harvested to the moment they reach your kitchen.
