Head of Production

Seremoni
Tacoma, WA

About Seremoni:

For centuries, fish in Japan has been processed using the ike jime method. We’ve adapted this artisan technique and made it more precise and simpler for American fishermen to use. All Seremoni-grade fish are humanely harvested with our proprietary on-boat system within seconds of being live-caught and taken from the water. The fish are then bled and chilled. Resulting in the coveted flavors and unmistakable texture that sushi chefs prize.
