Winn Meat Company Now Offers Town Dock Calamari
DALLAS (September 17, 2007) – In response to growing demand from its fine protein customers across Texas and the Southwest, Winn Meat Company will now provide the impressive Town Dock domestic calamari line, company officials announced today.
Town Dock has leadership and powerful reputation in the food service industry with its signature harvesting processes for ensuring the freshest, most tender calamari.
“When I met Noah Clark from The Town Dock I knew that his family owned business and ours were a perfect match,” said Jamie Samford, Corporate Chef and Vice President of Product Development for Winn Meat Company. “I have not seen a calamari product that can compare to theirs- great flavor, tenderness and value. Our customers will be wowed!”
Winn will offer Town Dock calamari tubes, rings and tentacles and steaks to meet customers’ specific needs.
Town Dock began as a small fillet house in Wickford, Rhode Island, moving to its waterside facility in Point Judith in 1980. The company has grown into one of the largest seafood processors in Rhode Island with unloading, processing, and freezing facilities under one roof. They service over half of the port's boats (approximately 30 full time deep sea fishing trawlers) as well as a large day-boat fleet. The company handles all the southern New England and Mid-Atlantic species of fish including Squid, Monkfish, Flounder, Whiting, Scup, Butterfish, and Fluke.
Town Dock ships fresh and frozen fish both domestically and worldwide. Sashimi-grade products are flown to the West Coast and Japan on a daily basis, and fish is trucked to the markets in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the Midwest. The company cuts fresh flounder, yellowtail, and fluke fillets. Landings from their day boat fleet help ensure our high quality.
Town Dock's signature items are its quality lines of foodservice-ready cleaned Calamari. Relying on their fishing fleet and their sources on the Eastern seaboard, they buy millions of pounds of domestic Loligo squid each year to service their customer base. Town Dock’s buyers project months in advance to ensure that their customers will always have product. Strict attention is paid to the cleaning and packing of the squid to maintain one of the highest-quality Calamari packs in the country.
