COVID has forced many restaurants and bars to shut down, but for Chef, Cookbook Author and Entrepreneur Matt Dean Pettit, he’s found a way to pivot and grow his businesses.

The Rock Lobster brand has since grown into a hugely successful grocery retail line focusing on proudly Canadian, sustainable award winning seafood dishes under the name brand Matty's Seafood Co which is sold across all Canada & The USA and Asia.
In 2014, Chef MDP launched his first award winning Best-Selling cookbook, The Great Lobster Cook Book published by Appetite by Random House. In spring of 2018, MDP he published his second book titled The Great Shellfish Cookbook.
