The Story of GUSTO


Nick Spiak was a visionary in 1979 when he hauled grouper from the coast to Upstate South Carolina restaurants. Flounder, king crab, and scallops were the mainstays of menus alongside steak and potatoes. But Spiak persuaded former Greenville restaurateur Vince Perone to give Grouper a chance. He was soon hauling fresh fish from the coast on ice in coolers in the back of a pickup. 

In the beginning, he made deliveries to 12 customers. Today, nine boxy, refrigerated seafood trucks with G.U.S.T.O. on the side deliver seafood to 165 restaurants. Your favorite seafood comes by truck or plane from not only the Carolina coast but also from Boston, New Zealand, and South America, where it was either farm-raised or caught at sea. 

Because his father emigrated from Ukraine, Spiak dreamed up the name "Great Ukrainian Trucker of Seafood" for his new company. Thankfully, his wife, Gladys, pointed out the acronym would read GUTS. So the name became "Great Ukrainian Seafood Trucking Outfit—GUSTO".
