Contact: John Herrera at (408) 710-3749

Lusamerica is a family-owned and operated seafood wholesaler, processor, and distributor based on the US West Coast with processing and distribution hubs in Los Angeles, South San Francisco, and Seattle. They offer over 100 species of fresh and frozen seafood and are known for being “The Ultimate in Quality Seafood.” The company excels in bringing local West Coast fish back to American plates through direct partnerships with fishermen through multiple harbors in California and Washington. Lusamerica’s processing plants are certified by Safe & Quality Food (SQF), the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), the Aquaculture Stewardship Council and the Department of Commerce (NOAA). The company is an industry leader driving positive change at international and regional levels through collaborations with nonprofits like The Nature Conservancy, and by participating in regional food bank programs to support local fishermen while feeding those in need. The name Lusamerica represents the blending of cultures and corresponds to modern-day Portugal, where founders Fernando and Ana emigrated from in search of the American Dream (Lusitania + America = Lusamerica). Fernando & Ana are celebrating 50-years of their family-owned company along with their brothers and son who continue to run the business together today.
