Field Reports: Wish for fish yields booming business
Fishmonger software integrates all of a seafood company’s central business processes into one system.
American Seafood’s growth has been fueled by two factors. First, in the
mid-South region there has been a growing demand for fresh fish. When the casino
gaming industry moved on to the Mississippi River, the influx of sophisticated
tourists provided more upscale opportunities beyond the region’s traditional
fried catfish. Second, the emergence of Memphis as the nation’s airfreight
hub created the opportunity to bring in fresh fish from all over the world.
Cassidy parlayed these trends into a $20 million dollar fish processing and
specialty food distribution business.
