I like to use fish tubs (aka fish buckets) to store things in; currently I am getting them from one of my accounts because they like to use them to receive our goods (easier than boxes). I'd like to get some new ones of my own; where do you get them from? Perkins doesn't seem to sell them, maybe Sysco? USFoods? Any ideas?

I posted this here because fish tubs are usually available to, or found in, restaurants or commercial places, not so much home consumers....but if it needs to be moved, by all means...!

Why not contact your local fish purveyor and see if you can buy them either directly from them, or find out where they get them before they're emblazoned with their company logos, etc. The only place I've ever seen them are the restaurants I've worked at, and they're already branded with the company logos from whichever seafood purveyor they've come from. Surely they are all buying them from someone. Perhaps if you have a good relationship with a chef or restaurateur you could inquire about purchasing some from them. Everywhere I've ever worked there has been an abundance of those rectangular "fish boxes" somewhere in the restaurant. Can't imagine it's any different any where else.

I can ask my account where they got them; the ones they gave me don't have any logo on the lids so they have to be getting them somewhere. As a bakery, I'm not dealing with fish so I have no clue where to start looking for them!

My chef bought some through a purveyor but had to buy a case of 100 or maybe it was 500? You could try calling all your local fish wholesalers and see who's willing to negotiate.
