'''Gorton's of Gloucester''' is a subsidiary of Japanese seafood conglomerate [[Nippon Suisan Kaisha, Ltd.]], producing [[fishstick]]s and other frozen [[seafood]] for the retail market in the [[United States]]. Gorton's also has a North American food service business which sells to fast-food restaurants such as [[McDonald's]], and an industrial coating ingredients operation. It has been headquartered in [[Gloucester, Massachusetts]], since 1849. |

The company traces its roots to a fishery called [[John Pew & Sons]]. [[William Pew]], son of John Pew, picked up fishing after serving as a Colonial soldier in the [[French and Indian War]]. While most people moved West after the war, Pew turned eastward and arrived in [[Gloucester, Massachusetts]], in 1755. The father-and-son fishery business emerged as an official commercial company, '''John Pew & Sons''', in 1849. |
||
When nearby |
When nearby [[Rockport, Massachusetts|Rockport]]'s chief industry, the Annisquam Cotton Mill, burned down, Slade Gorton, the mill's superintendent, was out of a job. At his wife's urging, he began a fishing business in 1874 which was known as '''Slade Gorton & Company''', and began to pack and sell salt codfish and mackerel in small kegs. This company was the first to package salt-dried fish in barrels. In 1899, the company patented the "Original Gorton Fish Cake". In 1905, the Slade Gorton Company adopted the fisherman at the helm of a schooner (the "Man at the Wheel") as the company trademark. Today, he is known as the Gorton's Fisherman. |
||
In 1906, Slade Gorton & Company and John Pew & Sons and two other Gloucester fisheries merged into the '''Gorton-Pew Fisheries'''. They made Gorton’s codfish cakes a household name in New England. The company offices were located at 372 Main Street, Gloucester, in the same building where Gorton’s Main Office is located today. |
|||
The company went into the fish-freezing business in the early 1930s. In 1949, Gorton-Pew made headlines when it drove the first refrigerator trailer truck shipment of frozen fish from Gloucester, Massachusetts, to San Francisco, California – a trip that took eight days. In 1953, the company was the first to introduce a frozen ready-to-cook fish stick, Gorton’s Fish Sticks, which won the [[Parents Magazine]] Seal of Approval. |
|||
In 1957, Gorton-Pew Fisheries name was changed to Gorton’s of Gloucester; in 1965, it became The Gorton Corporation, and it is now known as Gorton’s. In 1968, Gorton’s merged with General Mills, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary. |
|||
In May 1995, [[Unilever]] bought Gorton’s from [[General Mills]]. In August 2001, Unilever sold Gorton’s and [http://www.bluewater.ca BlueWater Seafoods] to Nippon Suisan (USA), Inc., a subsidiary of [[Nippon Suisan Kaisha]], Ltd., for [[US$]]175 million in cash. |
|||
In 2005, [[Nissui]] acquired King & Prince Seafood of [[Brunswick, Georgia]]. |

==Seafood Sustainability== |
|||
Gorton’s purchases a wide variety of seafood raw materials, of which [[Alaska Pollock]], a fish native to the [[Bering Sea]], is the most important and primary source of supply. This resource is managed under provisions of United States federal law that require rigorous scientific assessment of the condition of the fishery and conservative catch allowances. The quota each season is only a small fraction of the total available resource, and all players (whether vessel operators or legislators) take an active role to see that the rules governing the harvest are followed. These conservative management practices have resulted in this fishery being recognized as the world’s best managed sustainable seafood resource.{{citation needed|date=April 2008}} |

In 1957, Gorton-Pew Fisheries name was changed to Gorton's of Gloucester; in 1965, it became The Gorton Corporation, and it is now known as Gorton's. In 1968, Gorton's merged with General Mills, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary. |
|||
==Whaling== |
|||
In 2005, Gorton’s came under attack from the [[Environmental Investigation Agency]], [[The Humane Society of the United States]] (HSUS) and [[Greenpeace]], due to their parent company’s involvement in [[whaling]] in the [[Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary]]. These groups hoped that international companies owned by Nippon Suisan Kaisha (such as Gorton’s) would persuade their parent company to stop supporting whaling if they were put under enough pressure.<ref>[http://oceans.greenpeace.org/en/our-oceans/whaling/gortons greenpeace.org]</ref> Eventually, Nippon Suisan Kaisha agreed to divest its ownership in the company that owned the whaling fleet. Greenpeace hailed this as a victory <ref>[http://oceans.greenpeace.org/en/the-expedition/news/nissui-sealord-gortons greenpeace.org]</ref> and the boycott of Gorton’s ended. |
|||
In May 1995, [[Unilever]] bought Gorton's from [[General Mills]]. In August 2001, Unilever sold Gorton's and BlueWater Seafoods<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bluewater.ca/|title=Frozen Packaged Fish Ι Canadian Seafood Ι BlueWater Seafoods|website=www.bluewater.ca}}</ref> to Nippon Suisan (USA), Inc., a subsidiary of [[Nippon Suisan Kaisha]], Ltd., for $175 million in cash. |
|||
==The Gorton's Fisherman in Popular Culture== |
|||
In early 2005, the Gorton's fisherman was shown in [[Mastercard|MasterCard]]'s "Icons" commercial during [[Super Bowl XXXIX]], which depicts many food and cleaning advertisement mascots having dinner together.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mastercard Priceless {{!}} Experiences make life more meaningful. |url=https://www.priceless.com/m/ |access-date=2023-01-19 |website=Priceless |language=en-US}}</ref> |
|||
The iconic slogan, "Trust the Gorton's Fisherman," produced in 1978, and the familiar yellow slicker and beard has made the Gorton's Fisherman a recognizable pop culture icon. In particular the Gorton’s Fisherman, has been featured on the "Late Show with David Letterman" numerous times: |
|||
* On the January 12, 2007 show and again on the January 7, 2008 show David Letterman sported a yellow slicker, hat and beard and acted out an improvised Gorton’s Fish Stick commercial as the Gorton’s Fisherman complete with a box of Gorton's Fish Sticks. |
|||
* The Gorton’s Fisherman made the number seven spot on the “Top 10 Answers to the Question How Rainy Is It?” on April 16, 2007, which read “Number 7. It’s so rainy Regis’s guest host today was the Gorton’s Fisherman.” |
|||
* The Gorton's Fisherman also made the number five spot on the "Top 10 Surprises in 'Titantic'" list on January 8, 1998, which read, "Number 5. Graphic love scene between Kate Winslet and the Gorton Fisherman." |

Gorton's of Gloucester is a subsidiary of Japanese seafood conglomerate Nippon Suisan Kaisha, Ltd., producing fishsticks and other frozen seafood for the retail market in the United States. Gorton's also has a North American food service business which sells to fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, and an industrial coating ingredients operation. It has been headquartered in Gloucester, Massachusetts, since 1849.
History
[edit]The company traces its roots to a fishery called John Pew & Sons. William Pew, son of John Pew, picked up fishing after serving as a Colonial soldier in the French and Indian War. While most people moved West after the war, Pew turned eastward and arrived in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1755. The father-and-son fishery business emerged as an official commercial company, John Pew & Sons, in 1849.
When nearby Rockport's chief industry, the Annisquam Cotton Mill, burned down, Slade Gorton, the mill's superintendent, was out of a job. At his wife's urging, he began a fishing business in 1874 which was known as Slade Gorton & Company, and began to pack and sell salt codfish and mackerel in small kegs. This company was the first to package salt-dried fish in barrels. In 1899, the company patented the "Original Gorton Fish Cake". In 1905, the Slade Gorton Company adopted the fisherman at the helm of a schooner (the "Man at the Wheel") as the company trademark. Today, he is known as the Gorton's Fisherman.
In 1906, Slade Gorton & Company, John Pew & Sons, and two other Gloucester fisheries merged into the Gorton-Pew Fisheries. They made Gorton's codfish cakes a household name in New England.
The company went into the fish-freezing business in the early 1930s. In 1949, Gorton-Pew made headlines when it drove the first refrigerator trailer truck shipment of frozen fish from Gloucester to San Francisco—a trip that took eight days. In 1953, the company was the first to introduce a frozen ready-to-cook fish stick, which won the Parents magazine Seal of Approval.
In 1957, Gorton-Pew Fisheries name was changed to Gorton's of Gloucester; in 1965, it became The Gorton Corporation, and it is now known as Gorton's. In 1968, Gorton's merged with General Mills, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary.
In May 1995, Unilever bought Gorton's from General Mills. In August 2001, Unilever sold Gorton's and BlueWater Seafoods[1] to Nippon Suisan (USA), Inc., a subsidiary of Nippon Suisan Kaisha, Ltd., for $175 million in cash.
In early 2005, the Gorton's fisherman was shown in MasterCard's "Icons" commercial during Super Bowl XXXIX, which depicts many food and cleaning advertisement mascots having dinner together.[2]
In late 2005[3] three environmentalist and animal-rights groups — the Environmental Investigation Agency, The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and Greenpeace — began a campaign "calling on Gorton’s to persuade its parent company, Nissui, to permanently bring an end to the hunting of whales" in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.[4] In 2006, they announced, "our friends at seafood suppliers Gorton's, Sealord and parent company Nissui have withdrawn their active support for Japanese whaling."[5]
