History
Pacific Seafood is a family owned and operated Oregon business since its founding in 1941 as a small fish market on Powell Street in Portland. Today Pacific Seafood Group is headed up by cofounder Dominic's son, Frank Dulcich, and under his leadership has grown to be the largest vertically integrated and family owned seafood company in the U.S. Being the biggest was never the focus of our co-founders, Frank M. Dulcich (1918-1976) and his son Dominic, but rather to bring the best to market each and every day for our customers. Not the biggest, just the best! In 1983 Pacific opened and operated our first processing plant, realizing our customers' demands could be better filled by going direct to the source. Today we own and operate over 30 processing and distribution operations from Alaska to Texas. We also export high quality Northwest Seafood around the world, creating new products and jobs for our coastal communities and fishermen. We import quality seafood from around the world.
Specialties
All Pacific Sustainable Seafood products come from only verifiable legally harvested species using ecologically and ethically sound choices, which conserve ocean resources and provide a sustainable and healthy food source for present and future generations. Home to perhaps the best oyster operation on the Pacific Coast - and certainly the most visitor friendly - Beautiful Bay City, Oregon is a great place to watch oyster shuckers in action. Stroll down the boardwalk to our full production facility and witness oyster shucking techniques that have not changed for 200 years. Our oysters are still opened the old fashioned way - by hand with brute force, leverage and a little finesse. After shucking, we thoroughly wash our oysters - not once, not twice, but three times! Our experienced team sorts the oysters by size, quality and wholesomeness. Their trained eyes select only the finest oysters to proudly bear the name Sea Rock Brand Oysters. We also offer a full line of Pacific Seafood products at our retail counter. While you watch us express ship the freshest fish and shellfish anywhere in the country, belly up to our oyster bar for an oyster shooter or dive into a bowl of our freshly made clam chowder!
