Gorton's Fish Sticks

Gorton's is a historic American brand of frozen seafood products, founded in 1849 in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Originally starting as a fishing company, it pioneered many innovations in the frozen food industry, including the first frozen fish stick in 1953. The brand emphasizes coastal heritage and uses the iconic Gorton's Fisherman as its mascot.

Today, Gorton's is a leading brand in the frozen seafood category across North America. While it maintains its headquarters and major processing facilities in the United States, particularly in Gloucester, its ownership is international. Since 2001, Gorton's has been a subsidiary of Nippon Suisan Kaisha (Nissui), a Japanese multinational marine products company. The products are widely available in US supermarkets and are characterized by their breaded or battered fillets and fish sticks.
