Frionor USA
Since the brand's beginning in 1946, Frionor has been dedicated to quality control, strict safety standards and meeting customer needs for popular seafood products through product research and development. We have maintained our commitment to quality for over 60 years.

Frionor was acquired in 2000 by one of the largest global at-sea processors of Alaska Pollock, American Seafoods Group. This has provided access to resources and harvesting technology, helping Frionor serve the industry better. Today, Frionor is committed to growth through the research and development of innovative, value-added products.

Groundfish Operations

Scallop Division
As one of the leading scallop processors in North American, our fresh and frozen Sea Scallop operation in New Bedford, known as American Seafoods Processing, offers superior quality scallops both dry and processed. Sea Scallops are harvested fresh off the New England coast, processed right off the vessel and marketed under the American Pride Seafoods brand in both frozen IQF and fresh packaging.

Harvesting
Scallop vessels unload their fresh catch after it is harvested from the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. Scallops are unloaded fresh directly on conveyors located on our harbor dock and transferred into the plant where they are washed and processed.

Scallop vessels and their crews are trained to maintain freshness of the scallops upon arrival at our dock. Each boat and crew adhere to federal regulations by harvesting Sea Scallops within the alloted days and in designated areas during the season.

Processing
Our state-of-the-art processing facility guarantees the freshest quality, sizing accuracy and some of the highest quality scallops that can be found on the market today.
