Seller Verification Process
Every seller on SeafoodNearMe is reviewed by our team before they can post listings. Here's what that means for buyers and sellers.
What We Verify
- Maryland DNR fishing license — Fully verified sellers have submitted a current, valid license that our team has reviewed.
- Seller profile — We confirm pickup location, contact information, and that the seller operates in the Chesapeake Bay region.
- Compliance — Sellers must agree to sell only legally harvested species within season and size limits.
