Fishing billionaire Chuck Bundrant died at 79 by chloesorvino

Bundrant quietly ran America’s largest seafood company, Trident Seafoods, from Seattle, with a fleet of 40 vessels and 16 processing plants, mainly in the Pacific Northwest. Trident Seafoods has grown to employ some 5,000 during peak season in Alaska.estimates sales of the closely held private company at roughly $2 billion. Bundrant, who fought Parkinson’s disease for the past decade, had a fortune worth at least $1.

Alaskan pollock, a bottom-feeder that chefs considered a so-called trash fish, became Bundrant’s goldmine. His first break came when the Long John Silver's signed a in 1981. That same year, Trident built a fish-processing plant in Akutan, Alaska, what became it’s outer-most operations. Trident then became the main supplier to national fast food chains, including McDonald’s and Burger King, because Bundrant sold pollock cheaper than the cod they were used to buying.
