Seattle’s Chinatown is the next market opportunity for local small boat fisherman, according to the plans for a new seafood packing plant in Unalaska.
Sea Aleutians Seafoods LLC should open by the end of the year at the former site of Prime Alaska Seafoods on Henry Swanson Drive, the same road as the new Unalaska boat harbor, according to company spokeswoman Lisa Tran.
Tran said the company plans to buy cod, and other seafoods like octopus and skates, pack and freeze them, and ship the product south to Seattle for processing and sales mainly to Asian markets in Washington and Oregon.
