Trident Seafoods was honored as one of eight top Darden Restaurants suppliers. The two companies have done business with each other for more than two decades.

Located at 5303 Shilshole Ave. NW, Trident currently provides Alaskan snow crab, large Bristol Bay king crab, pollack, flounder, and mahi-mahi for Darden's restaurant chains. The two companies have also partnered for 10 years to jointly develop and implement quality assurance and purchasing practices.
