Company Overview Blue Star Foods Corp. (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) is an international seafood company based in Miami, Florida that imports, packages and sells refrigerated pasteurized crab meat, and other premium seafood products. The Company’s main operating business, John Keeler & Co., Inc. (“Keeler & Co.”) was incorporated in the State of Florida in May 1995. The Company was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company’s current source of revenue is importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, Philippines and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika, Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh. On November 26, 2019, Keeler & Co., a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Coastal Merger Agreement”) with Coastal Pride Company, Inc., a South Carolina corporation, Coastal Pride Seafood, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Acquisition Subsidiary” and, upon the effective date of the Merger, the “Surviving Company” or “Coastal Pride”), and The Walter F. Lubkin, Jr. Irrevocable Trust dated January 8, 2003 (the “Trust”), Walter F. Lubkin III (“Lubkin III”), Tracy Lubkin Greco (“Greco”) and John C. Lubkin (“Lubkin”), constituting all of the shareholders of Coastal Pride Company, Inc. immediately prior to the Coastal Merger (collectively, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Coastal Merger Agreement, Coastal Pride Company, Inc. merged with and into the Acquisition Subsidiary, with the Acquisition Subsidiary being the surviving company (the “Coastal Merger”). Coastal Pride is a seafood company, based in Beaufort, South Carolina, that imports pasteurized and fresh crabmeat sourced primarily from Mexico and Latin America and sells premium branded label crabmeat throughout North America. Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021 for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 8 Advances to Suppliers and Related Party In the normal course of business, the Company may advance payments to its suppliers, inclusive of Bacolod Blue Star Export Corp. (“Bacolod”), a related party based in the Philippines. These advances are in the form of prepayments for products that will ship within a short window of time. In the event that it becomes necessary for the Company to return products or adjust for quality issues, the Company is issued a credit by the vendor in the normal course of business and these credits are also reflected against future shipments. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the balance due from the related party for future shipments was approximately $1,300,000. No new purchases have been made from Bacolod during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cost of revenue related to inventories purchased from Bacolod represented approximately $170 and $291,000 of total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as such, we record revenue when our customer obtains control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s source of revenue is from importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, the Philippines and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika, Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh. The Company sells primarily to food service distributors. The Company also sells its products to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract which includes shipment of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation which is when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products. The Company elected an accounting policy to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities. Consideration payable to a customer is recorded as a reduction of the arrangement’s transaction price, thereby reducing the amount of revenue recognized, unless the payment is for distinct goods or services received from the customer. 9 Lease Accounting We account for our leases under ASC 842, Leases , which requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. We categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did not have any finance leases as of March 31, 2021. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property. We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the lease. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term. When we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease. The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheets. March 31, 2021 Assets Operating lease assets $ 92,386 Liabilities Current Operating lease liabilities $ 29,649 Noncurrent Operating lease liabilities $ 62,409 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 7,123 ROU assets recognized in exchange for lease obligations: Operating leases $ - The table below presents the remaining lease term and discount rates for operating leases. March 31, 2021 Weighted-average remaining lease term Operating leases 3.15 years Weighted-average discount rate Operating leases 4.3 % 10 Maturities of lease liabilities as of March 31, 2021, were as follows: Operating Leases 2021 (nine months remaining) 25,164 2022 33,552 2023 26,474 2024 15,060 2025 - Thereafter - Total lease payments 100,250 Less: amount of lease payments representing interest (8,192 ) Present value of future minimum lease payments $ 92,058 Less: current obligations under leases $ (29,649 ) Non-current obligations $ 62,409 Note 3. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $478,104, has an accumulated deficit of $14,016,881 and working capital deficit of $2,581,653, with the current liabilities inclusive of $1,299,712 in stockholder loans that are subordinated to the provider of the working capital facility, and $29,649 in the current portion of the lease liability recognition. These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to increase revenues, execute on its business plan to acquire complimentary companies, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Note 4. Debt Working Capital Line of Credit Keeler & Co entered into a $14,000,000 revolving line of credit, pursuant to a loan and security agreement with ACF Finco I, LP (“ACF”) on August 31, 2016, the proceeds of which were used to pay off the prior line of credit, pay new loan costs of approximately $309,000, and provide additional working capital to the Company. This facility is secured by all assets of Keeler & Co. This facility was amended on November 18, 2016, June 19, 2017, October 16, 2017, September 19, 2018, November 8, 2018, July 29, 2019, November 26, 2019 and May 7, 2020. The line of credit bears an interest rate equal to the greater of 3 Month LIBOR rate plus 9.25%, the Prime rate plus 6.0% or a fixed rate of 6.5%. The ACF line of credit agreement is subject to the following terms: ● Borrowing is based on up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory at the same rate, subject to certain defined limitations. ● The line is collateralized by substantially all the assets and property of Keeler & Co. and is personally guaranteed by the stockholder of the Company. ● The Keeler & Co, is restricted to specified distribution payments, use of funds, and is required to comply with certain other covenants including certain financial ratios. ● All cash received by Keeler & Co. is applied against the outstanding loan balance. ● A subjective acceleration clause allows ACF to call the note upon a material adverse change. On November 26, 2019, Keeler & Co. entered into the seventh amendment to the loan and security agreement with ACF. This amendment memorialized the acquisition of Coastal Pride and made Coastal Pride a co-borrower to the facility. Additionally, the seventh amendment waived and reset the covenant default that occurred during 2019, extended the term of the facility to 5 years and is subject to early termination by the lender upon defined events of default. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Keeler & Co. and Coastal Pride were in violation of its minimum EBITDA covenant as well as exceeding the covenant related to monies advanced to Bacolod by approximately $105,000. The default interest rate increase of 3% was implemented in April 2020. On May 7, 2020, Keeler & Co. and Coastal Pride entered into an eighth amendment to the loan and security agreement with ACF which acknowledged the execution of a Payroll Protection Program loan, provided a reservation of rights related to a default of the minimum EBITDA covenant. The Company analyzed the Line of Credit modification under ASC 470-50-40-21 and determined that the modification did not trigger any additional accounting due to the revolving line of credit remaining unchanged.

Basis of Presentation The following discussion highlights our results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described, and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on our unaudited financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto. Overview We are an international seafood company that imports, packages and sells refrigerated pasteurized crab meat, and other premium seafood products. Our current source of revenue is from importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, the Philippines and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika, Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh. The crab meat which we import is processed in 13 plants throughout Southeast Asia. Our suppliers are primarily via co-packing relationships, including two affiliated suppliers. We sell primarily to food service distributors. We also sell our products to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors. 17 COVID-19 The current COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business operations, including disruptions and restrictions on our ability to travel or to distribute our seafood products, as well as temporary closures of our facilities. Any such disruption or delay may impact our sales and operating results. In addition, COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that adversely affected the economies and financial markets of many other countries. As a result of COVID-19, the Company has experienced a significant decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 and continues to have losses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 although such losses have decreased in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2020. As a result of the business interruption experienced to date, management has taken steps to reduce expenses across all areas of its operations, including payroll, marketing, sales and warehousing expenses. The extent to which we are affected by COVID-19 will largely depend on future developments and restrictions which may disrupt interactions with customers, suppliers, staff and advisors which cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, governmental and business responses to the pandemic and the impact on the global economy, our customers’ demand for our products, and our ability to provide our products. We continue to monitor the effects of the pandemic on our business.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of March 31, 2021, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: ● The Company’s lack of an audit committee with a financial expert and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process; and ● inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, including lack of personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function of the Company. Management believes that the material weaknesses that were identified did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that these weaknesses, if not properly remediated, could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods. Management’s Remediation Initiatives In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to further initiate, the following measures, subject to the availability of required resources: ● We plan to establish an audit committee, including an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by applicable SEC rules, that has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations. 21 ● We plan to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and hire personnel resources with technical accounting expertise within the accounting function; and ● As of May 5, 2021, we hired a chief financial officer who is also the principal financial officer for SEC filing purposes. Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective internal controls over financial reporting. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
