Key Personnel
BEN LLOYD
PRESIDENT AND OWNER
Ben founded Pangea Shellfish Company in
2001 because he realized there was a need
for a specialty oyster dealer. Even before he
started Pangea, Ben always had an interest
in the seafood industry. Graduating with a
B.A. in Marine Affairs from the University of
Rhode Island, Ben started his career working
on the Moonstone Oyster Farm from 1997 1998. From 1998 - 2001, he worked in sales
at Captain Marden’s Seafood for the
company’s retail and wholesale operations.
In September 2001, he decided to open
Pangea’s doors as a one-man show.
Ben built many positive relationships with his
customers, and the company grew quickly.
Selling shellfish was exciting, but Ben still
wanted to be an oyster grower after his time
on the Moonstone Oyster Farm. In 2010, Ben
finally fulfilled his long-time dream by
acquiring a small oyster farm in Duxbury, MA.
With over 17 years of experience in the
oyster business, Ben has become a trusted
source on industry issues. He has appeared
in SeaFood Business, SeafoodSource.com,
WCVB-Boston, The Financial Times, Boston
Herald, and The Boston Globe. In his spare
time, he enjoys fishing, gardening, and
cooking with his family.
