BORNSTEIN SEAFOODS
THE INDEPENDENT SPIRIT RUNS IN THE FAMILY
Bornstein Seafoods has always been family-owned and that gives us the freedom to do whatever it takes to deliver the finest quality seafood. It is this independence that allows us to put our customers, employees, and the responsible treatment of our ocean resources first.
THE BORNSTEIN STORY
Myer A. Bornstein founded Bornstein Seafoods in 1934, during the Great Depression. The fledgling company cut its teeth in that rough and tumble time of give and take, eager to survive and make its mark in a world of turmoil and adversity. Hard work, commitment, and slogans like “If you don’t trade with us, we both lose money!” were the order of the day.
Myer Jay Bornstein, known as “Jay” in the industry, took the helm from his father in 1980. Under Jay’s leadership the company expanded its presence throughout the West Coast—with processing capabilities and buying stations that stretch from Alaska through Canada, Washington, Oregon, and down to Northern California.
In 2010, Bornstein Seafoods passed leadership of the company to its third generation – Jay’s three sons Kyle, Colin and Andrew Bornstein. With Colin serving as CEO, together they plan to continue Bornstein’s growth initiatives by focusing on Quality, Productivity, Professionalism, and Teamwork with staff, fishing partners, and customers. Bornstein Seafoods remains one of the oldest corporations in the industry because of our commitment to this philosophy.
Our facilities are located in Bellingham in Washington and in Newport and Astoria in Oregon. We produce Pacific Cold Water Shrimp, Pacific Whiting, Dungeness Crab, Pacific Rockfish and Sole, Salmon Sablefish, Halibut and Albacore Tuna., as well as, a line of value-added items.

AMERICAN ALBACORE FISHING ASSOCIATION
ABOUT
The American Albacore Fishing Association (AAFA) is dedicated to promoting sustainable fishing practices and supporting the well-being of fishing communities across the United States. Through our commitment to responsible fishery management, we strive to ensure the longevity of albacore tuna stocks while safeguarding the livelihoods of those who depend on them.
At AAFA, we prioritize the adoption of one-by-one fishing methods, including pole and line and troll techniques, which minimize environmental impact and uphold the highest standards of ethical harvesting. By championing these practices, we not only protect marine ecosystems but also contribute to the preservation of coastal communities and traditional fishing cultures.
Central to our mission is the promotion of education on responsible fishing methods. We believe that by empowering individuals with knowledge about sustainable practices, we can foster a collective effort towards conservation and stewardship of our oceans.
Furthermore, we advocate for the health benefits of consuming albacore tuna, emphasizing its role as a nutritious source of protein and essential nutrients. We aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness between human well-being and the marine environment.
In all our endeavors, AAFA remains committed to transparency, collaboration, and community involvement. By working hand-in-hand with stakeholders, policymakers, and the public, we strive to enact meaningful change and ensure a future where thriving fisheries coexist harmoniously with vibrant coastal communities.
Join us in our mission to preserve our oceans, support our fishing communities, and promote sustainable seafood practices for generations to come.

As a small remote business, we employ 7+ people who service over 4 commercial fishing boats and have sold over 5.8 million dollars in total sales. While staying competitive with the seafood market we have kept fishing vessel prices higher than in previous times for the local economy. We staff from local work source and own all equipment in our fish processing plant, which keeps our overhead low.
