Honey Smoked Fish

Branded Seafood Transaction

Integris Partners recently advised Honey Smoked Fish, a portfolio company of McCarthy Capital, on its acquisition by Midwest Growth Partners. Founded in 1994, Honey Smoked Fish is a leading manufacturer of branded hot-smoked salmon products made from fresh, never-frozen fillets using a proprietary small-batch smoking process. Its fillets, snack packs, and salmon-based dips are sold through leading club, mass, and grocery retailers.

Integris developed a differentiated market narrative around the company’s premium brand, unique manufacturing capabilities, blue-chip customer base, and position at the intersection of protein, convenience, and better-for-you snacking. The senior team tailored the story to each counterparty, maintained competitive tension through closing, and identified a partner positioned to support the company’s continued product and retail expansion.

‘We chose to work with Integris because they are more than just a service provider — they are a true strategic partner, bringing deep industry insight, market expertise, and exceptional process management to every stage of the transaction,’ said Chase Meyer, Partner at McCarthy Capital.
