“Kingfish Maine is one step closer to achieving fully operational status, and we are ready to build on our proven blueprint, and scale our technology locally to service our network of distributors nationwide,” said Ohad Maiman, founder and CEO of The Kingfish Company.
Kingfish reached a deal with Whole Foods to sell its products at all of the grocery firm’s locations nationwide.
The planned Jonesport fish farm is one of four large-scale fish farms proposed along Maine’s eastern coast. It is the only one that would produce yellowtail. The others plan to produce salmon.
