North Coast Seafoods began as a company focused on shellfish distribution, which brought predictability and dependability to what had been a very unpredictable, undependable industry.

The business thrived, seafood was delivered on time, and the company grew. But there was always the desire to do more—to be a company responsible for bringing people the freshest seafood imaginable—and there was only one way to do it: Control every part of the process, from the fishing boats to the processing facility to the shipping.

So that’s what we did.

From the time on water, to how it was caught, to who caught it, to how they took care of it, to the way it was processed, to how it was packaged and transported—we control it all. We made our process trackable and verifiable every moment the seafood is in our possession. When there were federal standards, we bested them. When there were no standards, we made our own.
