Trident says the new processing plant will focus on automation, renewable energy and on 100% protein capture — that is, being so efficient that not a scrap of fish is left to pump out to sea.
Trident Seafoods is constructing a state-of-the-art facility to process fish in Unalaska. Representatives say they expect to be online in 2027.
The company began a feasibility study in 2017 to explore ways to upgrade its Akutan plant. They tested things like building designs and energy efficiencies, but ultimately, representatives from the company said a complete rebuild was the only reasonable option. “In our industry, there’s a lot of waste that goes out the outfall pipes,” Brand said. “So we’ve been working on this process for quite some time, knowing that the future is 100% capture and putting it into a sellable product.”
“We have diced this thing like a Rubik’s Cube, except it’s almost like a Rubik’s rectangle, just to kind of make it stranger,” Homka said. “You see all the parts … you twist one here, you twist one there and see how it works.” Many seafood processors provide their own energy, often through a combination of diesel and fish oil, but Trident says it wants to avoid power production.
