Ideal Foods Ltd was formed in February 2000.

Based in Liskeard, Cornwall, our core business is managed by Tony Horner and Jeanette Turpin, who are both Directors of the company and have worked together for over 15 years. Together with the rest of the staff, we have over 70 years experience in the seafood industry, particularly in shellfish and the high risk baby food and toddler meal sectors. Ideal Foods purchases products worldwide. We currently buy from Norway, Ireland, UK, Holland, Peru, Chile, USA, Indonesia and Thailand.....To name but a few.	We are continually looking at new markets to ensure we are ahead of the game. Need low mercury, low sodium Tuna. Talk to us. Need MSC approved product. Talk to us. Ideal Foods have MSC certification. Need cheap white crab meat to mix with your existing production. Talk to us. Whatever your needs. Talk to us. We know the markets and products and will find you a solution.
To explain what the company does in one sentence is very difficult. Although if the company had a motto it would be. “if what you want swims in the sea, we can find it and produce it to your specification,” or more simply "if it swims we can get it for you"
What keeps us successful as a business? We only give the customer exactly what they want, not what we think they want. If our customer is happy we are happy, and will go the extra mile to make sure. Our suppliers are as important as our customers. We keep up to date with European Legislation. Each customer is King and as important as the next, large or small. We make decisions and give answers quickly. Bureaucracy does not tie us down.
Our aim is basically to supply the best quality product that gives value and satisfaction to our customer. By doing this well, we keep our overheads and our stocks low, and do our homework thoroughly, to ensure our competitiveness. We supply Local Fishmongers through to Overseas supermarkets, Fish merchant to Blue chip international manufactures and processors, under own label and private label. We don’t advertise, most of our custom come from word of mouth. What better endorsement can you get?

In a nutshell, “We love what we do”
