Bee Mittleider is the owner of Deep Blue Seafood.

She’s a food lover, culinary explorer and fantastic mum who’s happily married to her university sweetheart (he’s a completely amazing guy). She’s excited about finding ways to make seafood easy and approachable for home cooks and loves sharing her knowledge of seafood with others.

Bee moved from her native London England in 2004 to get married and start a life with John, a lifelong North Dakotan.
Missing the variety and accessibility of seafood she enjoyed in London, she and John started Off The Hook Seafood in 2013 and expanded their business with the opening of Deep Blue Seafood in the summer of 2016 becoming Fargo’s first and only seafood market and restaurant. They have an incredibly awesome daughter, Tabitha, who can be spotted running Deep Blue Seafood with Mom and Dad. You can find Deep Blue Seafood at www.dbseafood.com
