Trident's expanded operations in Kodiak will boost its tender salmon processing (Fish Radio)

Trident Seafoods is now a triple owner of fish plants in Kodiak with its purchase this week of Western Alaska Fisheries. Trident has long operated the large Star of Kodiak processing plant and last year bought the small Alaska Fresh Seafoods plant next door. That will expand its frozen holdings, says Trident CEO Joe Bundrant
"We’re building a new freezer facility there – the fish used to tender out of the Gulf of Alaska to our Akutan will now be processed here. In addition, when you get your big pink salmon runs in places like Prince William Sound we’ll be able to tender salmon here as well and handle any large seasons of pinks that come into Kodiak."
