Ducktrap River Of Maine Planning $5M Expansion To Meet Boosted Demand

BELFAST, Maine — A local company that makes smoked salmon and other seafood products is taking over a shuttered building next door to meet increased national demand for its products.

Ducktrap River of Maine, based in the city’s business park, has purchased a former apparel manufacturing facility across the street, and plans to spend $5 million converting it to produce cold-smoked salmon, according to Don Cynewski.

“At this point, we’re at capacity in our current building,” Cynewski told the Belfast City Council as he filled members in on the plans during a meeting Tuesday night. “The smoked salmon business nationwide is increasing.”
