Alvaro Martinez worked for Gus Pellegrino at Syosset Seafood in Syosset, NY for almost 20 years. He learned the ins and outs of the retail seafood business first hand after many years of experience. Alvaro Martinez drove to the Fulton Fish Market in Manhattan 5 days a week; picking up and hand selecting the freshest seafood products available.

His second duty was also scaling, skinning, filleting, and preparing the fresh fishes for sale. In 2003, he bought the Syosset Seafood retail store in Albertson from Gus Pellegrino. After buying the store; he came to the decision to rename the store Albertson Seafood, which was the original name the store had when it opened up in the 70s. Erika Martinez currently runs the daily operation of Albertson Seafood. Erika started to learn the business in 2003 when her father bought the store. She was taught the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the seafood industry by her father.
