Asia
Each year, Fishermen's Finest sends a team of sales leadership and operational crew to Asia to follow our product from the vessel in the Bering Sea/Gulf of Alaska to the primary re-processors in Asia.
This year, Wayne Okino traveled with our Captain/Mate Rick Loan and Factory Foreman/Assistant Foreman Jason Sharp to Seoul South Korea and Dalian China
Pictured above, you see the Great Circle Route for shipping from Seattle to Asia - typically we ship direct from the Bering Sea or Gulf of Alaska to China, Japan or Korea.
Here's one of the reprocessing plants in mainland China (outside Dalian) that we visited
It's humbling to find when we visit processing facilities worldwide that everyone knows of Fishermen's Finest and our vessels American No1 and US Intrepid. Pictured below, you see us inspecting our Yellowfin Sole wearing the typical garb of the factory workers
And along the way, some time for team building and experiencing the local flavor
For those crew interested in possibly participating in a future trip to see our product 'from the sea to the reprocessor,' please let Amanda Heyano know.
We'd like to thank Seiichi Higuchi from Nichimo International for making this trip a great success.
Fishermen's Finest ~ a team of excellence ~ our name says it all.
