We intend to continue to build our Seafood business through organic growth, and acquisition.  As an Alaskan Native owned company, we are dedicated to providing a channel to market for seafood products that are created in partnership with the communities that play a critical role in the harvest of Alaskan Seafood.”

Phil Crean will remain as the CEO of Odyssey.  “I have been dedicated to the Pacific Northwest, and passionate about creating Seafood products my whole career,” he said.  “I am proud to be entering into partnership with Sealaska, a community owned Corporation that is dedicated to the cultural and economic success of the communities from which our most sustainable fisheries are managed.”

“On behalf of the Board and our Shareholders, I am excited to see us continue to build our Seafood business,” commented Anthony Mallott, Sealaska CEO.  “We have subsisted from coastal Alaska for 10,000 years, and this is an industry that is close to our hearts and central to our future.”
