Gulf King harvests what food critics claim are the world's highest quality, best tasting, most sought-after shrimp. Four generations of Herndons have built their business on their commitment to their customers that their quality and supply would be the best and most reliable, always. Over the years the Herndon standard of excellence earned the company a reputation as a leader in the seafood industry. Today the family continues that tradition of quality, assuring that Gulf King Seafood remains one of the most respected names in the business
Gulf KIng was founded in 1936 by Sydney Herndon and his father in Corpus Christi Texas as a seafood retailer & distributor. Soon after Sydney Herndon bought his first shrimp boat and by 1987 had the largest fleet of Shrimp Boats in the US with over 50 trawling vessels. In the mid to late '90s the company began moving the fleet to Nicaragua seeking year-round fishing and to secure a more long term fishing ground. Currently Gulf King vessels are still in Nicaragua catching wild caught Pink and White Shrimp in the Caribbean Sea. 4th generation shrimper Mark Herndon's company Gulf King Shrimp Exchange Inc. imports and markets the shrimp produced by the Gulf King fleet in Nicaragua and from select fleets trawling the waters of Honduras.
