About Ocean King

Ocean King is a family-run business, founded in 1997 and grown from modest beginnings into one of the UK's leading wholesalers of authentic Chinese and Far East Asian food. We supply fresh and frozen seafood, meats, noodles, sauces and specialist ingredients to restaurants, caterers and wholesalers across the country.
