About the Business and Team

In early 2011 after returning back to Washington State to be with family at Lummi Reservation, the idea was proposed of creating markets here on the east coast for dungenous crab, and fresh wild salmon, and if a viable business was able to be created. The families have chosed a life as salmon fishermen and crabbers on the puget sound and the surrounding rivers for hundreds of years. The name of the company was decided upon as "Red River Seafood Company", because the family land has the river running thru the property. After returning to the east coast I began researching potential markets, assessing the desire for the products, and established a customer base. We developed a strategic plan over a span of six months, creating a drop ship company as a wholesale broker, with cold storage facilities located strategically thruought the eastcoast.

the principles and management team represent a combination of expertise, each highly proficient in regards to their areas as associated within the structure of the company. All of the team members have worked with organizations that are revenue and goal driven, and maintain exceptional standards in customer service and quality.
