About Us

About the Company

Here at Black Sails, we specialize in offering top-tier salt for the brining of bait fish, specifically tailored for the pod trap industry in New England. Our journey began with a passion for salt and a dedication to serving the local fisheries of southern New England.

Founder's Story

For two decades, I worked as a truck driver and heavy equipment operator, finding joy in working with salt during seasonal gigs. Seeking a new adventure, I became a sternman on lobster and purse seine vessels in Hull, MA. After three years of immersing myself in a new industry, the idea of supplying salt to the fisheries of New England took root, leading to the establishment of Black Sails.

Our Mission

We are committed to providing the finest halite, sourced from the Siwa salt mine in Egypt, milled, and screened to ensure a uniform particle size for easy application to bait fish. With a focus on quality, consistency, and reliability, Black Sails has become synonymous with excellence in the bait salt industry.

Local Impact

Situated in central Massachusetts, we proudly contribute to the local community by fostering and supporting the fisheries of southern New England. Black Sails is honored to be the preferred bait salt of New Bedford, the largest fishing port in the United States.
