American Seafood New Bedford Plant, Massachusetts

American Seafood occupies 13 acres in New Bedford’s North Terminal, consisting of a scallop processing plant, a cold storage and distribution warehouse, and a “value-added” seafood factory, where they batter, bread, pre-cook, coat, glaze, and marinate millions of fillets of ground fish each year for foodservice and institutional customers including Burger King and Wendy’s. Following mergers in 2000, the company became the seventh largest seafood supplier in North America, and the largest harvester and at-sea processor of Alaska pollock and hake.
