Most people in the food industry know Trans-Ocean
as the leader in surimi seafoods. What is not as
well-known about us is that we are a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Maruha-Nichiro, one of the world's largest
seafood companies and a major factor in the shrimp
industry. Trans-Ocean is combining the global shrimp
expertise of Maruha Nichiro with our own understanding
of the US market and the American consumer. We have
added shrimp procurement and marketing experts to our
Bellingham, WA staff to build a shrimp organization that
can deliver better quality, more efficiency and greater value
than what is currently available in the market.

Our shrimp product line features
farm-raised
black tiger shrimp
and
white (vannamei) shrimp from
Southest Asia, available in virtually every
size and product specification. We offer a line of
All Natural shrimp that is certified by the Aquaculture
Certification Council, the highest standard of food
safety, traceability and wholesome, responsible
processing. We also offer high quality shrimp that meets the specifications
of leading foodservice operators for consistency. Our branded packaging
communicates the natural goodness of our shrimp with clean,
appealing graphics.
