The seafood industry in the United States has become a multi-billion dollar industry with a growing demand for seafood and seafood related products in the United States. Our products find their way from our cold storage facilities to major retailers, hotels, restaurants, and finally to the end consumer – the public. To augment the high and growing popularity in the U.S. for seafood products and to further promote the intrinsic nutritional and health benefits of seafood in the diet of the increasingly health and fitness conscious public. We note that there is a growing interest in the United States in Asian ethnic food, especially fish products, which has created substantial opportunities for expansion of our market. Fish is considered the richest source of most healthful and essential types of Omega- 3, EPA and DHA - the types in fish are unique because they keep the heart, eyes, brain and joints healthy, and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Furthermore, the proliferation of fish products has spawned tens of thousands of small independent sushi bars and counters in the USA and virtually every high end and major hotel and restaurant chain in the New York metropolitan area has at least one sushi bar or counter . In fact, sushi and other forms of seafood are now competing with French and Continental cuisine as the trendiest “haute cuisine” of modern dining.

The revolution in the seafood industry has been analogous to the previous phenomena of pizza and Chinese cuisine in the 1960s to the 1990s. The difference, however, is that Sushi and fresh fish are not only nutritionally more beneficial but substantially more expensive and easily perishable than ingredients used in pizza, such as flour, canned tomato sauce, cheese. Accordingly, it is essential for the continued success of the major wholesale fish industry, such as our company, that the public demand for fish products be maintained at its present level and substantially increasedin order to ensure constant and undiminishing demand for our fresh products and our business.
