Pacific Seafood reopened a processing facility in Brookings, Oregon, that was no longer operated by a competitor, saving 34 local jobs and 17 independent trawlers.

Giving Back

  • Partnered with Snake River Farms and the Retherford Family (as seen on “Deadliest Catch Dungeness Cove”) to donate more than $3 million worth of premium proteins including 74,000 Wagyu steaks and 8,000 sustainable rockfish fillets to support increased demand on local food banks during the pandemic
  • Helped facilitate a return to in-person learning for nearly 400 students in Warrenton, Oregon, by providing Wi-Fi to a local summer camp with outdoor space for students to learn safely
  • Donated to more than 160 nonprofit organizations that serve the communities where Pacific Seafood does business

Supporting the Industry

  • As a Member of the Stronger America Through Seafood Board, Pacific Seafood advocates for an increase U.S. production of healthful, sustainable, and affordable seafood

Pacific Seafood manages all parts of the supply chain from harvesting/fishing, processing, and distribution.

Products that Meet Demand

  • COVID-19 dramatically changed shopping priorities as 48% of consumers are cooking from scratch more frequently. Pacific Seafood quickly ramped up our value-added production capabilities and focused on meal solutions that are easy to cook, yet provide a premium experience
  • For food service customers, Pacific Seafood developed meal kit solutions and other items specific to a take-out experience

  • Continued to give back up to 20% of profits to team members each year through 401K contributions and incentives

Frank Dulcich, President and CEO of Pacific Seafood, expressed that this year’s report demonstrates the pride the essential workers have in feeding the world the healthiest protein on the planet despite all odds. “Pacific Seafood team members responsibly and safely came together to stay open and operating during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure a constant supply of high quality, great tasting food. Not only did we fulfill that responsibility, we expanded our product offerings and opened new facilities. I’m so proud of our company’s commitment and vertical integration which enables us to not only deliver fresh, healthy proteins around the world, but to support and give back to our communities and partners. We are all stronger, together.”
