Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Unilever United States, Inc. Incorporated: 1906 as Gorton-Pew Fisheries Co. A company with roots as old as the fishing industry itself, Gorton's, a wholly owned subsidiary of Unilever United States, Inc., is a perennial leader in the seafood industry.

BORN AND RAISED IN GLOUCESTER, MA Our tale begins in Gloucester – America's oldest seaport and the birthplace of the US fishing industry. Gorton's was founded here in 1849, and we've been proud to call it our home ever since.

Most of our seafood products are wild-caught species, caught primarily in the Bering Sea, the Barents Sea, the North Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. We also procure farm-raised aquaculture seafood including tilapia and shrimp, from various countries, including Ecuador, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, and India.

In 1953, the company was the first to introduce a frozen ready-to-cook fish stick, which won the Parents magazine Seal of Approval. In 1957, Gorton-Pew Fisheries name was changed to Gorton's of Gloucester; in 1965, it became The Gorton Corporation, and it is now known as Gorton's.

History. The British tradition of eating fish battered and fried in oil was introduced to the country by Spanish and Portuguese Jewish immigrants, who spent time in the Netherlands before settling in the UK as early as the 16th century.

England Originally, Western Sephardic Jews settling in England in the 17th century would have prepared fried fish in a manner similar to 'Pescado frito', which is coated in flour. Battered fish is coated in flour and dipped into a batter consisting of flour mixed with liquid, usually water but sometimes beer.
