A day in the life of Seattle Fish Company
A day in the life of Seattle Fish Company is as varied and diverse as the hundreds of species the Denver-based Colorado supplier carriesA day in the life of Seattle Fish Company is as varied and diverse as the hundreds of species the Denver-based Colorado supplier carries.
In November 2013, Undercurrent News witnessed a day in the life of the company, from start to finish, revealing a company with a diverse array of products and meticulous systems.
The day's work begins with a sales meeting, where Seattle Fish's purchasing director Harry Mahleres clues the sales and buying teams in on the state of various species, from the tight supply of soft shell crabs to the rising prices on salmon.
Inside the processing plant, close proximity to the Denver airport enables fish inspectors to kick their day off early. Drivers deliver fish, fresh off the planes, to the plant for inspecting and sometimes processing first thing in the morning.
