Andrew Boyd
Business owner and fishmonger, Andrew Boyd, has an immense respect
and devotion to all things food related. The son of a baker, his childhood
was deeply immersed in the food industry.

First introduced to seafood at Monahan’s Seafood Market in Ann Arbor,
Michigan, Andrew was immediately hooked. “It is the sheer excitement of
seeing products in their most basic form that really tells of quality.”

While working as a chef in Sydney after graduating university, Andrew
made the decision to seek out prestigious seafood providore, Martin
Palmer, and joined Martin’s Seafoods in 2001.

“Martin was always into quality - for Martin’s Seafoods that is of prime
importance. He gave me the courage to be steadfast in my convictions and
never settle for less than the best.”

In October 2006, Andrew Boyd became principal partner of
Martin's Seafoods and promptly opened the first finefish at Neutral Bay in
March 2007.
