United States v. Seafood Supply Company, L.P.

On July 17, 2026, the court sentenced Seafood Supply Company, L.P. (SSC) to pay a $250,000 fine, complete a three-year term of probation, and implement an environmental compliance plan. SSC pleaded guilty to a two-count information charging the company with two Lacey Act false labeling violations(16 U.S.C. §§ 3372(d)(1), 3373(d)(3)(A)(i)). 

SSC is a seafood wholesaler in Dallas, Texas. Between January 2020 and February 2022, the company sold Chilean salmon that it falsely labeled as more expensive salmon from Scotland, Norway, and Canada. The defendant used this fraudulent “country-of-origin” labeling scheme to generate illegal gains of approximately $200,000. 

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Law Enforcement conducted the investigation.
