Cooke Seafood Inc., established in 1985 in Blacks Harbour, New Brunswick, Canada, by the Cooke family, has grown from a single salmon farm into the world's largest privately owned seafood company. Employing approximately 13,000 people across 15 countries, Cooke operates both aquaculture and wild fishery divisions, providing a sustainable seafood source to global markets. The company's vertically integrated operations encompass salmon farming in regions such as Atlantic Canada, the United States, Chile, Scotland, and seabass and seabream farming in Spain. Cooke's commitment to sustainability is evident in its practices and recent acquisitions, including the purchase of Corporación Pesquera Inca S.A.C. (Copeinca) in Peru in November 2024, which enhances its marine ingredients business and diversifies its geographic and species portfolio.
