Sea Port

What Sea Port does

Sea Port Products is a privately held, Kirkland, Washington-based B2B seafood distributor and wholesaler, founded in 1981 and operating with 11–50 employees. The company sources seafood from suppliers in Thailand, China, Taiwan, and New Zealand, and distributes tilapia, squid, mussels, shrimp, calamari, crab, scallops, and various fish species to retailers, restaurants, and food-service providers across the United States. Its commercial interface is the Fish Online / Customer Connections B2B portal, a member-login platform that lets buyers access pricing, place orders, and manage accounts, supplemented by the C-Splash weekly price list and a QuickPay billing system.

The company sells through three proprietary sub-brands — Sea Port Brand (Marinara Mix, Tilapia, Squid, Calamari Steak), Ola! Brand (shrimp products), and Cnami Brand — and positions its offering around the Go Blue! sustainability initiative, anchored on the trademarked Go Blue! Seafood Sustainability Spectrum, a proprietary framework for communicating the sustainability status of products. Revenue is generated transactionally through wholesale seafood distribution with margin-based pricing communicated via the weekly member price list; no public pricing or rate cards are disclosed.

Go Blue! also serves as the central marketing platform, supported by sustainability-oriented partnerships with NOAA Fish Watch, Seafood Watch, Marine Stewardship Council, Best Aquaculture Practices, and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council, and by a California Transparency in Supply Chains Act disclosure and a Fair Labor Practices corporate policy. Buyer-facing content resources — a seafood glossary, recipes, fishing techniques, health-benefit pages, and industry links — reinforce the brand positioning but are not priced separately and do not appear to be a material revenue stream.
