Portrait of Jeff Tedmori
i. Biography
Seafood handling is the core of Jeff Tedmori’s work: careful sourcing, clean execution, and respect for the product from start to finish. At E-fish, he holds three roles, founder, CEO, and master fishmonger, that put business oversight and day-to-day craft in the same frame. Sustainable seafood is the operating standard here, and in Tedmori’s case it means the discipline to source with intent and the consistency to handle each fish with attention. Specialism matters in fish work, and Tedmori’s profile is built around that. As a master fishmonger, he brings hands-on knowledge to E-fish, where the trade is organized around precision and responsibility. The leadership title gives the company its structure; the fishmongering defines the standard at the counter, in prep, and in the way the ingredient is treated throughout.
Today
At E-fish, the combination of founder, CEO, and master fishmonger gives Jeff Tedmori’s role a practical range. The executive side sets direction, but the craft side keeps the work tethered to the material realities of seafood, quality, handling, and the close read required to work it well. Sustainable seafood sits at the center of that practice. For Tedmori, it is not a slogan but the lens through which E-fish is shaped and the work is measured. The discipline is in the handling, the consistency, and the expectation that seafood should be treated with respect at every stage. Tedmori also takes Black Cod, also known as Sablefish, to the beach and prepares it there, bringing the work out of a formal setting and into open air. That choice keeps the process direct and stripped back: the product, the tools, and the skill required to cook it cleanly.
