Meet Seattle Fish Co.

For more than 100 years, Seattle Fish Co. has been dedicated to serving those who serve others. It all began back in 1918, when our founder Mose Iacino first started bringing seafood to landlocked Colorado. At just 16 years old, Mose would hand-select fresh fish at the Seattle markets, carefully pack it in sawdust and ice and ship it to Denver by railcar, replenishing the ice at stops along the way. Then, from Union Station, he tirelessly pushed a wooden cart around downtown, bringing his sought-after fish and oysters to Denver chefs, markets and restaurants.

The core values that Mose instilled in his budding company back then still drive us today. They are what we stand for, what we believe in and theyre reflected every day in the work we do, the people we employ, and the businesses we serve. We are a family first and company second. Every day our diverse, engaged and high-performing staff work together toward common goals. They learn from one another and treat each other with respect. The people we draw to us are people who believe in themselves, in our customers, and in our work. Were passionate about giving back. We believe its our responsibility - through outreach, fundraising and volunteering with nonprofits to make a positive and lasting impact on the community we love and that has supported us since day one. What underpins all these values and really sets us apart is our holistic dedication to sustainability.
