Sara then owned and managed a prominent fish market in Seattle's Pike Place Market selling fresh local, Alaskan, and exotic seafoods.
Sara brought her experience and great enthusiasm to E&E Foods in 2004. As Team Leader for Fresh Sales, Sara primarily sells all five species of salmon, Alaskan halibut, and black cod. She also manages communication and coordination between E&E Foods' processing plants and sales office.
