Matt Ferreira:  Executive Chef/Owner
Chef Matt Ferreira

Chef Matt grew up in Marblehead Massachusetts, a small fishing and sailing town on the north shore. He started in the culinary arts business when he was 13 years old as a dishwasher in a gourmet food store. Luckily, he started cooking by the time he turned 14 and soon realized that’s what he wanted to do when he grew up.
Moving to Florida in 1992 provided a whole new world as far as culinary arts was concerned. Florida was known for its Caribbean and southern flairs and he was used to the northern comfort food, and finally got to see some unique styles and techniques of cooking.
He fell in love with some of the southern aspects of cooking and decided to attend Johnson and Wales culinary university in Charleston South Carolina.
Employed at Swan River Seafood since 1999, Matt has come a long way in the seafood world. With his knowledge of the northern fish as well as the southern fish, Swan River was the perfect restaurant for him.
Matt is always willing to give advice on any type of cooking question! Contact us with your questions and comments.

Ahoy Mates! As you all know, our seafood changes everyday, but this website cannot. My apologies to our patrons who wish we would ship our food nationwide. They could just stay in Naples all the time and invite their friends and family too! We have expanded our sources from Cape Cod, Maine, and Florida to now include Hawaii, Seattle and Canada. Finding fish that has never been frozen before is a challenge. My favorite fish is the Baja flying fish. Anything you want to know about me personally, just ask anyone, they would probably know.
If you’re seeking cooking advice or new recipes, we can help. If you have a favorite fish or seafood item that we cannot get on a regular basis, contact us, and we will go out of our way to get what you need.
Success really is in the details, and we listen to our patrons, so please feel free to comment about your experience with Swan River Seafood.
