About Us

At Mackenzie Limited and Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes & More, we believe that great food brings people together. For over 35 years, we’ve been on a passionate journey to discover the finest flavors from around the world, curating unique, high-quality gourmet foods delivered right to your door. Our goal is simple: to provide exceptional gourmet foods, outstanding customer service, and stress-free convenience, so you can enjoy more time with your family and friends, enjoy meals without the hassle, and send gourmet gifts that leave a lasting impression.

Founded in 1988 by a Scottish food enthusiast, Mackenzie Limited began as a small mail-order business sharing the best of Scotland and the British Isles with food lovers across the United States. Our signature Mackenzie Scottish Smoked Salmon quickly became a customer favorite and remains a beloved mainstay today. Since 1996, under the leadership of Laura McManus, and later joined by partner Kate Glenn in 2009, we’ve grown steadily, adding hundreds of curated gourmet products, without ever losing sight of the personal service and dedication that define our family of brands.

Today, Mackenzie Limited and Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes & More offer over 700 exclusive, carefully sourced gourmet products across 10 categories, including appetizers, fine cheese collections, brunch, entrees, complete holiday meals, side dishes, desserts, and gifts for every occasion. Many of our gourmet foods are imported directly by us or developed exclusively by our team of Product Specialists, so you can enjoy flavors that are truly one-of-a-kind and unavailable anywhere else.

We’re proud to be part of a family of brands that shares our commitment to exceptional food and memorable experiences. Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes & More brings regional favorites and classic East Coast flavors to your table, offering the same dedication to quality and care that our customers have come to expect from Mackenzie Limited.

We take pride in two things above all else: sourcing only the finest gourmet foods to make your life stress-free and providing outstanding customer service. Every order we fulfill reflects our commitment to quality, care, and your satisfaction. When you choose Mackenzie Limited or Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes & More, you’re not just purchasing exceptional products; you’re joining our extended family.
