Yellowtail aquaculture farm has received final DEP permits and bought land in Jonesport

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • November 30, 2021

Kingfish Maine, a Dutch-owned firm looking to build a $110 million land-based fish farm in Jonesport, has been granted the final permits it needs from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. The company also closed on the purchase of a 94-acre parcel of oceanfront property on Dun Garvan Road, off Route 187, where it plans to build tanks and other facilities for growing yellowtail. In recent months, Kingfish reached a deal with Whole Foods to sell its yellowtail products at all of the grocery firm’s locations nationwide.
