Tony's Seafood traces its roots back to 1959 when Donaldsonville, LA native Tony Pizzolato opened a small retail & wholesale business in the city of Baton Rouge. Realizing Baton Rougeans' love for fresh seafood, Tony added crawfish, shrimp & crabs to his selection of produce. Soon he found the seafood outselling his produce. In 1972, Tony leased an abandoned service station on Plank Rd next to Delmont Village Shopping Center. Through much of Tony's hard work and his insistence that the business only sell products of the finest quality, he, his wife Mary Lee, five sons Bill, Joey, Mike, Cliff, Tad and daughter Ceily turned what once was a small fruit stand into a thriving seafood business. Tony's Seafood has been known to sell as much as 50,000 pounds of live & boiled crawfish in one day.
