Gorton’s was founded in 1849 by a father-son duo under the name John Pew & Sons. Several years later in nearby Rockport, MA, Slade Gorton founded a fishing business and was the first to pack salt-dried codfish. Gorton’s became a registered trademark in 1875. In 1906, Slade Gorton, John Pew and two other Gloucester fisheries merged into Gorton-Pew Fisheries. When the merger became effective, the company offices were located in the same building where Gorton’s Main Office is located today.
At the turn of the 20th century, Gorton’s Codfish Cakes were a New England staple. A leader in innovation, Gorton’s was the first to develop a frozen convenience food ? Gorton’s Fried and Frozen Codfish Fillets. Since then, Gorton’s has introduced countless seafood innovations, like ?Fresh Lock? processing in the late 1950s and now-famous Gorton’s Fish Sticks in 1952. More recently, Gorton’s Grilled Fillets and Skillet Crisp items have introduced delicious and innovative ways to enjoy seafood.
In 1975, the Gorton’s Fisherman appeared on TV for the first time. ?Trust the Gorton’s Fisherman? has since become a famous jingle beloved by Americans.
I am a huge fan of fish and any food that comes from under the water but in the same sentence with that I am also super picky about my seafood. If your fish smells fishy than it is not fresh. I learned this after a childhood of fishing here in Florida. Over the years my family has loved Gorton’s and I tell you when we eat their products they never ever smell fishy. That is because when they package them they are fresh. Fresh seafood does not smell. I also just love their fish sticks….it reminds me of my childhood and I just love to slather them with ketchup!
I decided to try one of their recipes from their website that I had not tried before. This night I wanted something quick and something my two girls would eat.
