About International Marine Products
International Marine Products (IMP) is a world-class seafood importer and distributor with an advanced regional distribution hub located at 10440 Windfern Road, Suite B in northwest Houston, Texas. Founded in 1963, IMP is widely regarded among culinary professionals as one of the pioneers that introduced authentic sushi culture and sashimi-grade seafood distribution to the United States.
Operating in close connection with Tokyo’s world-famous Toyosu Fish Market and elite aquaculture producers worldwide, IMP receives direct weekly air-freight shipments of pristine Hon-Maguro (Pacific and Atlantic Bluefin Tuna), Shima Aji (Striped Jack), Madai (Japanese Red Sea Bream), Uni (Sea Urchin from Hokkaido and Santa Barbara), and King Salmon.
The Houston facility maintains specialized refrigeration environments and super-cold storage infrastructure calibrated to preserve delicate fish enzymes and cellular texture. Master fish handlers inspect every finfish landed at the facility, providing custom whole-fish scaling, gutting, and precision loining for Houston’s premier omakase counters and luxury hotel kitchens.
