Fresh from the Sea

Fresh From the Sea

No matter which part of the globe your Sysco seafood comes from, you can count on quality, freshness and flavor. That means whether you’re dishing out fried pollock or a new shrimp recipe, you can always serve your seafood with the utmost confidence.

Sysco’s Portico brand seafood products, including top sellers like shrimp, salmon and canned tuna, not only taste great but also meet the highest quality assurance (QA) standards in the industry. Portico seafood is sourced with integrity and with a focus on meeting Sysco’s 2020 Seafood Sustainability Goals (see page 25). Our extensive quality assurance staff, with offices across the globe, means products meet the highest standards. QA measures include everything from food safety audits and social responsibility audits to point-source inspection. Before products even reach Sysco storage facilities, both quality and freshness are checked and rechecked. “Sysco’s specifications are considered the gold standard in the seafood industry,” says Jon Shirley, Sysco’s Director of Seafood Category Management. “Freshness is built into Sysco’s DNA and flows through all our unique specifications.”

Portico’s rigorous specifications, which range from net weight and count all the way to water temperature, result in better-than-industry-standard seafood products across the board.
