Trans-Ocean Products

Trans-Ocean Products is a leading American manufacturer of surimi seafood products, best known as the producer of Crab Classic, the number one surimi seafood brand in the United States. The company specializes in ready-to-eat, fully cooked surimi seafood made primarily from Wild Alaska Pollock, one of the most abundant and sustainably harvested fish species in the world. Founded on the principle of making seafood accessible, affordable, and convenient, Trans-Ocean has been a key player in introducing and popularizing surimi seafood to American consumers since the product category first emerged in the U.S. market in the 1970s.

The company's core product lineup includes several distinct styles under the Crab Classic brand: Flake Style, Chunk Style, and Leg Style, each designed for different culinary applications ranging from cold seafood salads, dips, and sushi rolls to hot dishes such as chowders and quesadillas. Beyond Crab Classic, Trans-Ocean also produces Lobster Classic and Simply Surimi, as well as a range of snack-sized single-serve options, family packs, and bulk pack formats tailored to salad makers, in-store deli operations, and foodservice operators.

All Trans-Ocean surimi products are fully cooked and ready to eat, requiring no preparation or mess, which positions them strongly in both retail grocery and foodservice channels. The products are formulated to be gluten-free, fat-free or low in fat, and serve as a good source of protein and Omega-3 fatty acids, making them a health-forward option in the seafood category. The company is committed to using sustainably harvested fish and incorporates real crab or real lobster meat into its respective product lines alongside high-quality Wild Alaska Pollock.

Trans-Ocean Products holds multiple third-party certifications that validate its quality, health, and sustainability claims. These certifications reinforce the brand's positioning as a trusted choice for health-conscious consumers and responsible retailers. The company serves a broad range of market segments including retail consumers, foodservice operators, and in-store deli departments, offering products in a variety of pack sizes to meet diverse volume and price-point needs.

With its flagship Crab Classic brand achieving national recognition and strong social media engagement, Trans-Ocean continues to be the dominant force in the U.S. surimi seafood market, combining consumer-friendly convenience with nutritional value and responsibly sourced ingredients.
