Honored to have industry legends like Nate Torch and Jeff Stern as part of the Captain Fresh family. With their unparalleled expertise and commitment to excellence, they continue to steer CenSea toward new horizons. Excited to sail the seas with the OGs of Seafood! #CaptainFresh #SeafoodExcellence #Leadership
Ahoy, sailors! Today, we spotlight the OGs of seafood - Nate Torch and Jeff Stern. With over eight decades in the industry, their formal titles at CenSea are well-known, but their vast credentials and immense impact in the seafood world set them apart. Driven by his passion for educating consumers and increasing seafood consumption worldwide, Nate represents the country on the Global Shrimp Council, leading initiatives to drive awareness of shrimp's nutritional value, affordability, and versatility. Jeff, currently serving on the National Fisheries Institute (NFI) executive committee, has served multiple terms on the board, chaired the Importer's Committee, and directed the Seafood Industry Research Fund. As Nate and Jeff continue to lead CenSea into new waters, we look forward to solidifying our commitment to quality and innovation in the seafood industry. #CenSea #SeafoodOGs #Legends

This National Space Day on 23rd August, as India celebrates the incredible achievements of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, we at Captain Fresh are proud to shine a spotlight on the remarkable intersection of space technology and the fisheries sector. This year’s focus on applying space technology in fisheries highlights how tools like Captain Fresh’s Fishgram transform traditional practices. Fishgram leverages satellite data, ocean state forecasts, and advanced analytics to help fishermen navigate and sustainably manage their catches. By mapping potential fishing zones and enhancing traceability, Fishgram is not just improving efficiency- it’s helping to secure the future of our oceans. As space technology continues to break new ground, we’re excited to see its profound impact on the seafood sector, ensuring that both the sky and the sea remain vast frontiers of innovation. #CaptainFresh #NationalSpaceDay #Chandrayaan3 #SeafoodInnovation #TechInSeafood #Fishgram
