Many Fisheries. One Responsibility.
Understanding Alaska’s interconnected seafood economy and the role Trident Seafoods plays to support it.
Trident Overview
In this family-owned company, we know and love seafood.
We bring the freshest, healthiest, wild-caught fish from the pristine waters of Alaska to families worldwide, and we’ve done so for over 50 years. We are proud to champion Alaska's natural bounty with a steadfast commitment to sustainable practices.
Our Story
Trident Seafoods is a fishing company started by a fisherman. Founded in 1973, Chuck Bundrant led Trident for more than four decades. During that time, he instilled a culture of respect for the ocean, humility, courage and a passion for what we do. In 2013, he passed the torch and those same values to his son, Joe. More than 50 years after its founding, Trident remains a privately held, family-owned company. With more than 7,700 employees and over 2,700 independent fishermen, we proudly harvest, process and sell virtually every commercial species of salmon, whitefish and crab from the pristine waters of Alaska.
