AquaCuisine™ was started in the California home of founder, Mark Goforth, in 1993. The popularity of Mark's gourmet salmon burgers became such a hit with his friends that he started to freeze extra batches for them and eventually started to sell them to local restaurants and specialty food stores. The roots of Aquacuisine however, go back to the childhood visits Mr. Goforth made to the pristine misty fjords of Ketchikan, Alaska where he developed a love for salmon fishing from his Uncle's Dad Bob Ellis, a reknown Alaska bush pilot.

In 1999 Mark and his wife Traci moved their family and company operations to Boise, Idaho, a compromise with his wife between California and Alaska. Idaho has strong cultural ties to salmon through the great migratory rivers such as the Snake and Salmon where Nez Perce native Indians historically fished.

Today AquaCuisine™ is one of the fastest growing and most respected producers of specialty fish products in the USA. Their commitment to excellence is one reason why so many consumers are choosing this healthy and delicious alternative to traditional meat dishes.
