ABOUT TRIDENT SEAFOODS
Trident Seafoods was founded in 1973 by Chuck Bundrant and two fishing partners, starting with a single vessel that combined crab harvesting and processing at sea. The company grew to process Alaska pollock, salmon, crab, and other whitefish, opening a value-added plant in Anacortes, Washington in 1988 to supply pollock to national restaurant chains. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Trident now operates processing plants in Alaska, Georgia, Minnesota, and Washington. The company remains privately held, majority owned by the Bundrant family, with Chuck's son Joe Bundrant serving as chief executive officer.
