Phillips Foods and Seafood Restaurants is a family-owned business steeped in tradition and with a deep respect for the environment and for the people we work with. Today, four generations after AE Phillips started his crab-production facility in 1914 on Hoopers Island, Maryland, the family still derives its livelihood from the water. Because it experienced first-hand the decline of resources in the Chesapeake Bay, Phillips is acutely aware of the necessity to protect our natural resources.
