Great seafood is our passion, and it’s something we’ve been extremely proud to offer families for more than 170 years. 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. WITH A PIONEERING SPIRIT AND A THIRST FOR INVENTION Not only was Gorton’s the very first to develop a frozen convenience food, we’ve introduced new processing methods, sustainability practices and even foods – like our now-famous Gorton’s fish sticks. TRUST THE GORTON'S FISHERMAN He first appeared in 1975 and has been an American icon ever since. But The Gorton’s Fisherman is much more than the inspiration for a beloved jingle.
