Best Stockfish Supplier in the USA
The story of Stockfish is a story of the people. For hundreds of years, Norwegian fishermen have come together to take advantage of the wild cod’s seasonal migration patterns. During the winter months, the cod seek shallower water, moving into the realm of the everyday fisherman.
Nature comes together in wondrous harmony as the men and women of Norway bring the fish onto the shore to be cleaned and hung. Once the cod are dressed, tied, and hung on giant wooden stocks (hence the name stockfish), the cool and salty coastal air begins the drying process. Over the next few months, the temperature remains consistent and helps to prevent spoiling and contamination that may occur in other climates.
The annual stockfish harvest is a time-honored cultural tradition that stretches back over many generations. For hundreds of years, families have come together to work, play, and provide for others the bounty of the sea. A great deal of community respect for not only the fish but the process helps to ensure unsurpassed quality at every step.
It’s this sense of natural wonder and pride that drew us to the stockfish. Here at LaRuche Imports, we’re grateful and honored to have become a part of the stockfish tradition. We work hard to convey that same sense of respect and dedication shown by the people of Norway as we provide valued nutrition to countless kitchens around the world. We’re committed to being your trusted seafood supplier for as many years as there are fish in the sea.
Delicious, quality seafood should be available at a reasonable price. As part of our commitment to the stockfish tradition, LaRuche Imports is dedicated to offering our products at the lowest possible price. Affordable access to nutritional stockfish is just as important to those who process, dry, and ship it, as it is to those who serve it. By offering dried and canned stockfish products, you will be helping to continue on a timeless tradition while providing valued nutrition to each of your customers.
If you’re considering a new seafood provider, would like to sample our canned or dried fish products or would like a bit more information on the process, feel free to call or email. We love what we do and appreciate the chance to share with others this long-standing tradition. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
THE QUEEN OF THE COAST® BRAND allows us to reach beyond the limited specialty market of Norwegian and Icelandic Stockfish with a quality European product that appeals to the mainstream population of the global seafood market, with a primary focus on the health-conscious consumer.
THE QUEEN OF THE COAST® BRAND is produced in Portugal by Ramirez & Ca. (Filhos), S.A., one of the largest and oldest seafood canneries in Europe (established in 1853, www.Ramirez.pt). Our alliance with the Ramirez organization in the distribution of THE QUEEN OF THE COAST® BRAND underscores our commitment to providing our customers with quality European seafood products. THE QUEEN OF THE COAST® BRAND benefits from over 160 years history of success by Ramirez, and positions LaRuche Imports, Inc. to become a leader in the global seafood market.
To help us achieve our goal of global market leadership, we established a Preferred Customer program that allows us to form a unique partnership with our wholesale customers to make our quality seafood products available to consumers in their local communities. As a preferred customer, you will receive wholesale pricing and free shipping (within the US) on all purchases, and get on your way to financial success by partnering with Laruche to serve the seafood needs of your community. Our preferred customer program allows you to generate extra income while providing your friends, family members, and neighbors a convenient access to the finest seafood products on the market.
As a Preferred Customer, you also have a unique opportunity to own and operate one of our seafood boutique franchises with very minimal investment. Our retail franchise division, Laruche Fine European Foods, Inc. was established in 2017 as an independent retail operation that provides consumers a direct access to our products through franchised retail outlets. As a franchisor, LaRuche Fine European Foods, Inc. is responsible for issuing franchises to qualified franchisees seeking to operate a retail business under the assumed name of LaRuche Fine European Foods Inc., and ensuring their compliance with the terms of our franchise program.
Our mission at Laruche Imports, Inc. and LaRuche Fine European foods, Inc. is to bring an expanded menu of the same premium quality products and exceptional customer service directly to consumers by partnering with motivated entrepreneurs who desire success through franchising. We believe that our commitment to providing quality seafood products and services at competitive prices to consumers will lead to the financial success of our franchisees, and the continued growth of our organization.
Now, as our journey continues with more than 26 years of dedicated service to our community, we believe the time has come for us to diversify our product line because since 1994 we focused entirely on meeting the quality seafood needs of our local community. However, for any company to succeed in today’s challenging business environment, it must evolve and recognize the need to diversify in order to meet the growing and diverse needs of the community it serves. Our recognition of the need for diversification has led to our decision to expand our product offering beyond our historical seafood products, while maintaining our focus on serving the needs of nature. When mother-nature calls for food, we’ve been there to serve our community with quality seafood products. As our body digests the food we eat, it must at some point remove the excess food waste from our body, which then calls for our use of the restroom. Laruche Imports is also proud to meet mother-nature at this other point of need by making your next visit to the restroom a more pleasant experience, since the need for food and a visit to the restroom are both critical needs for life.
We’re therefore proud to announce our global partnership with JON-E-VAC® Corporation for the distribution of JON-E-VAC® Ventilated Toilet Seat System, a restroom air sanitizing product, effective June 1, 2021.
The JON-E-VAC® Ventilated Toilet Seat System is a revolutionary product that vacuums off polluted air in the toilet bowl while the toilet is being used, and sanitizes the vacuumed air in a charcoal activated filter fan housing chamber by eliminating the foul odor and air-borne bacteria. The system then pumps into the restroom the refreshed and purified air that leaves the restroom ambience healthy and odor-free. Simply stated, the JON-E-VAC® ventilation system makes everyone’s restroom experience a pleasant one when mother-nature calls for number 2.
As the exclusive distributor of the JON-E-VAC® Ventilated Toilet Seat System, Laruche Imports is pleased to offer wholesale pricing and free shipping for the JON-E-VAC® products to registered members of the Laruche Imports’ Preferred Customer Program, as we partner with you to introduce this exciting product to the general public. The Laruche Imports’ Preferred Customer Program is a convenient platform that provides a pathway to financial freedom for motivated and success driven individuals; and the JON-E-VAC® distributorship provides those members a greater opportunity for financial success as we work together to serve the growing and diverse needs of the global community.
As we evolve and adapt to the dynamic global business environment, we’re committed to maintaining our focus on offering quality products that make sense and offer real benefits with value to our community. We look forward to our continued partnership with our preferred customers to serve the growing needs of our global community.
