Logistics – Our Delivery Fleet Delivers The Freshest Product Possible
With a delivery area which spans from Monterey County to San Diego County and includes Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Tucson, we have structured a fleet and distribution operation to ensure that the product delivered is as fresh when it arrives at our customer’s door as it was when it left our processing facility. We operate a fleet of trucks designed to maintain optimal temperatures and use a variety of technologies to control and monitor the entire delivery process from both a safety and quality perspective:
Every truck is refrigerated and utilizes a monitoring system to control inside temperature and to report any temperature variances or equipment malfunctions.
Our Logistics department utilizes a Satellite Vehicle Monitoring System to provide real time vehicle locations as well as travel history (speed violations, excessive idling, etc.), time at delivery locations, and location alerts (entering and exiting selected areas and regions).
Our Logistics department also utilizes Routing Software which provides optimization of routes and dynamic routing to generate revised routes based on a variety of parameters.
Company History
Jack Deluca spent over 40 years building Santa Monica Seafood into one of the top distributors of seafood in Southern California. Simultaneously, his cousins, the Ciglianos, and their children were on the docks of San Pedro growing the business of State Fish Company. In 1981 the families came together again when the Cigliano family purchased the company from Uncles Jack and Frank. Over the next several years each of Anthony’s children joined the daily operations of Santa Monica Seafood bringing a unique blend of talents and dedication to the business.
In 2002 Santa Monica Seafood moved into a state-of-the-art, fully climate controlled 61,000 square foot facility in Rancho Dominguez, CA. From this central location near both the Los Angeles Harbor and Los Angeles International Airport, our fleet of computer temperature-controlled trucks is able to reach all of Southern California, Las Vegas and Phoenix.

With additional cross-docking facilities in both Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix AZ, along with acquisition of Long Beach Seafood and Central Coast Seafood we continue to increase both our purchasing power and customer base.
Although Santa Monica Seafood has grown in size we remain committed to quality, safety and service. Jack Deluca founded Santa Monica Seafood with the philosophy, “Provide the highest quality product at a fair and reasonable price,” and that approach has never wavered.
