CenSea, founded in 1960 and based in Northbrook, Illinois, is one of the largest importers and distributors of frozen seafood in the United States. It sources products from nearly 25 countries and serves a broad range of customers, including restaurant chains, food service distributors, retailers, and food manufacturers. Its offerings are associated with several industry sustainability and nutrition initiatives, such as Global Seafood Sustainability Initiative (GSSI), National Fisheries Institute (NFI), Better Seafood Board (BSB), Global Seafood Alliance (GSA), Seafood Industry Research Fund (SIRF), and Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP). In February 2024, CenSea was acquired by Captain Fresh, a development that reflects ongoing consolidation in the seafood value chain. Within the food and beverage services sector, CenSea positions itself as a supplier focused on consistent delivery, traceability, and ongoing emphasis on sustainability and quality. These commitments are supported by technology-driven processes and the company maintains relationships across restaurants, distributors, retailers, and manufacturers in the U.S.
