Katta Seafood was founded in 1886 by Georgis Kattapoulos as '''Katta Fishing Corp.''', a modest tuna fishing company that first became known for its innovations related to refrigeration of the seafood product with crushed ice. Katta Fishing Corp. then pivoted to focus on the import and resale of tuna and salmon primarily to the Imperium's interior, quickly expanding into harvesting and globally distributing fish. In the early 20th century, the company diversified by purchasing deep-sea fish, largely pollock and shark for processing and export. | Katta Seafood was founded in 1886 by Georgis Kattapoulos as '''Katta Fishing Corp.''', a modest tuna fishing company that first became known for its innovations related to refrigeration of the seafood product with crushed ice.

In 1920, Kattapoulos's focus shifted to pursue his pharmaceutical company [[Pantheon Industries]] and renamed Katta Fishing Corp. into Katta Seafood'''.''' Throughout the mid and late-20th century, Katta Seafood expanded its business operations to include cod, hake, shrimp, sardines, mackerel, pet food, frozen fillets, breaded fillets, fishsticks, nuggets and fish sausage. Kattapoulos stepped down as chairman of Katta Seafood in 1926 and handed the company over to his son Nikolan, who ran the company for four decades. In 1967, Katta Seafood went public and is still majority-controlled by the Kattapoulos Estate. | In 1920, Kattapoulos's focus shifted to pursue his pharmaceutical company [[Pantheon Industries]] and renamed Katta Fishing Corp. into Katta Seafood'''.'''
