Trident Seafoods bought Portlock six years ago. Now, the Ballard-based company is changing the focus of the retail store at 2821 NW Market St. Just a few weeks ago, the merchandise inside the store went from strictly salmon, to quick, quality food beyond salmon, store manager Lo Reichert tells us. This is the first retail location for Trident.
When we stopped by Thursday afternoon there was a steady stream of people. Some were buying the natural fillets, some went for the salmon burgers and others wanted fish sticks. One man bought up two boxes of smoked salmon for his in-laws in Florida. For $7.95/pound, Reichert says you cant find a better deal on the hot smoked salmon anywhere.
