We’re proud have been a part of the Colorado community for over 100 years, and we plan to be around for another 100! Over the past century, Seattle Fish Company has expanded our dedication to health, environment, community and quality. We have been guided by an overarching principle and purpose: We Sustainably Feed People. This phrase - We Sustainably Feed People – is much more than tagline. It imparts strength and clarity as we look to the future. It helps define how Seattle Fish Company will conduct ourselves, who we will be, and how we will operate. It allows us to make informed decisions on people we hire, the product we carry and the partnerships we form. It means that we’re continually improving the way we source, ship and deliver our products. Reducing our carbon footprint by combining routes, increasing our use of recyclable materials, decreasing our energy and water usage and partnering with vendors who take the time to make, grow and harvest food the right way. After all, if we do not operate in this way – we’re not really acting sustainably, are we? Seattle Fish Company believes that fish can be the future. Responsible fishing and aquaculture practices can bring communities healthy protein sources, with far less harm to the environment and much less dependence on water usage. By partnering with people who do things the right way, we’ve thoughtfully built our supply chain to become your trusted distributor of the highest quality sustainably sourced and traceable seafood and gourmet products.
