Our Story

A South Shore Institution

Jake's Seafoods opened in 1949 as a true family affair. Founded by John Jacobson and his brothers — Marty, Donald, Bob, and Bill — all of whom worked as commercial fishermen harvesting clams and lobsters from Hull's own waters. Their sister Betty Oliver served as the first cook, and the whole family kept the kitchen running.

In 1984, the O'Brien family purchased the business, and Jim O'Brien — a UMass Amherst Hotel and Restaurant Management graduate — took over daily operations the following summer. Under his stewardship, Jake's added an outdoor deck overlooking the bay in 2009 and expanded the lounge and waiting area in 2010.

Today, more than 75 years on, Jake's remains family-owned and remains the go-to seafood destination on the South Shore — from Hull to Quincy to the Cape, people know the name.

Frozen Portions Program

Fresh Seafood Market

All of our seafood is bought daily at the fish piers in Boston — for both our restaurant and our Fish Market. That means when you take home a portion, it's the same quality we serve at every table.

Our Frozen Portions Program lets you stock up on restaurant-quality seafood to prepare at home. Stop by during our season to pick up fresh and frozen cuts from our market counter.
