A Short History of Faulkner Fisheries

Faulkner Fisheries was founded by me, Sean Faulkner in 1980.
I was born in Jersey in 1954 and brought up as a child at L'Etacq, the northern most point of the beautiful St. Ouen's Bay – miles and miles of golden sand, blue sea and a surf lined coast line.

As a boy I learned to fish the sea and farm the land in L'Etacq, the old boys taking me under their wings and showing me the ropes.

Coming from a family with a long tradition as fruit and vegetable merchants and dairy men, becoming a fish merchant was sort of in my blood.
So, leaving the sea in 1980, after spending six years as a purser with P&O on cruise ships, I set up Faulkner Fisheries which now operates from Jersey, Guernsey and England.

The whole ethos of the three trading companies is seafood, each specialising in their own particular fields.

Christopher Vautier, a childhood family friend, joined me in 1981, and to his credit is still with me! The two of us set out to build an honest and reliable family run fish business which we are both proud to boast, has remained so ever since and for the past 26 years.
