Trident Seafoods said Tuesday it is selling its Newport, Oregon, Pacific whiting processing plant and would like Pacific Seafoods Group to buy the facility to ensure the plant would remain operational.
Pacific, in a statement, said it is prepared to continue operations at the plant, but is "proceeding cautiously as a result of frivolous lawsuits filed by a Portland attorney."
"We're ready and willing to open in time for the 2017 season, but we don't want to get bogged down in litigation," Pacific Spokesman Tim Horgan said.
