PORTICO AdvantageThe

Portico Seafood is the largest seafood house in the United States.

Portico brand quality seafood is harvested from the best locations at the peak of freshness, then it is quick-processed with state-of-the-art technology to maintain the best possible flavor and texture. Partnering with environmental agencies such as Monterey Bay Seafood Watch and Friend of the Sea, as well as maintaining vertical integration from harvest to box, ensures sustainable fishing practices and total traceability.

Seventy-five to eight percent of all seafood sold in this country is imported; the FDA inspects only 1-2% of incoming shipments. Sysco inspects 100% of its product not only for food safety, but also for culinary appeal and economic integrity. Portico Seafood harvesters and processing plants all around the globe undergo strict Point Source Inspection by the Sysco Quality Assurance team. The product is then thoroughly inspected and monitored at many more points throughout production, packaging , and transport.

Minimal chemicals are used only to preserve quality, not to add weight, with acceptable levels consistently better than the industry standard. Ice glaze is used sparingly to protect the protein, but never to add unwanted water weight to the product. As a result, you get a pure, clean product with low purge and high yield.

Portico Seafood guarantees you that, “What is on the box, is what is in the box,” as far as net weights, counts, grades, proper use of additives, ingredient ratio, nutritional information, and DNA-tested proper species identification.

THE PORTICO PLEDGE Our Portico Pledge states there will be no compromise in quality and every seafood product will be packed under

the same superior quality specifications, no matter the plant or country they are packed in.

Located in Toledo, Ohio, Imperial Seafood & Shellfish Company applies Sysco’s discriminating standards to choosing fresh seafood suppliers. Sysco Quality Assurance personnel inspect boats, docks, and processing facilities to ensure quality, integrity, and traceability. Products are received on temperature controlled docks, processed in the state-of-the-art temperature controlled and ozone-sanitized facility, and then shipped to you in verified temperature controlled climates within two to 24 hours of processing.

Closest to the taste of wild Atlantic salmon, Faroe Island salmon is the prime rib of salmon. High fat content helps the fish to maintain its moist intense flavor. You can use the fish in almost any application from center of the plate to salmon salads.

The Faroe Islands are a small, remote island group located in the middle of the North Atlantic. The islands have a population of less than 50,000 people. This remote location creates the perfect environment for premium salmon production with its cool, steady sea temperatures and clean, clear waters. Faroe Island salmon aquaculture industry is a sustainable, fully traceable fish from roe to export. The strict veterinarian aquaculture legislation in the Faroe Islands has been instrumental in ensuring the welfare of farmed Faroese salmon, as it protects the salmon from disease. Since implemented in 2003, the legislation has been so effective in protecting them that farmed salmon from the Faroe Islands are today completely free of antibiotics.

Fresh Faroe Island salmon is an outstanding salmon choice for your menu.
