NAFCO and Congressional Seafood Owner Inducted Into Hall of Fame

Maryland Food Industry Hall of Fame Adds Stanley Pearlman to List of Distinguished Honorees.

Jessup, MD, December 08, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Stanley Pearlman, of Stanley Pearlman Enterprises, joined
the elite ranks of the Maryland Food Industry Hall of Fame during a Nov. 8th induction ceremony held in
Baltimore.

Pearlman is the majority owner and President of both NAFCO Wholesale Fish Dealers and Congressional
Seafood Company, Inc., both headquartered in Jessup, Maryland.

Pearlman started off his career in the food industry in the meat business in 1973. He moved from beef and
pork into seafood, buying a small seafood company called NAFCO in 1991. After establishing himself
with retail chains and institutional distributors, Pearlman expanded the business into the world of fine
dining and gourmet markets by opening Congressional Seafood in 1996. In 2003 he started a retail line of
pre-packaged seafood under the label, Baltimore Crab Company.

Since then, NAFCO and Congressional have become valued partners in delivering the best product to the
region's stores and chefs. Pearlman's commitment to providing fresh, high-quality, sustainable seafood to
the mid-Atlantic region is evident in the company's state-of-the-art, SQF certified processing facility,
which opened in 2015, located next to the Maryland Seafood Market in Jessup.

Pearlman is the father of four grown children and 11 grandchildren.

Pearlman joins such notable members of the Maryland Food Industry Hall of Fame as Frank Perdue of
Perdue Farms, and Brice and Shirley Phillips, founders of Phillips Seafood.

The Maryland Food Industry Hall of Fame is hosted by the Maryland Food Dealers Council. The event
was held at Martins West in Baltimore, and sponsored by the Maryland Retailers Association and
Best-Met Food World.
