    About Bailey Seafood

    Bailey Seafood was founded in 1985 out of a passion for fresh seafood.  Started out with only one employee, the market quickly grew after customers from the neighborhood realized they can purchase the freshest seafood in Buffalo without having to travel far.  Through a lot of hard work and word of mouth, Bailey Seafood quickly anchored itself as one of the best places to get a fast and fresh fish dinner in Buffalo.
