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.
