Baldor Specialty Foods, a distributor of fresh produce and specialty foods in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, has acquired Pierless Fish of Brooklyn, a supplier of seafood to New York City restaurants.

"Historically, Baldor has strengthened its business by having strong and direct relationships with our farmers and we are now excited to apply that same approach to the seafood industry," said Michael Muzyk, president of Baldor Specialty Foods, of the deal.
