History
True World Group started as a roll up of independent seafood and Asian food companies founded by entrepreneurs inspired by the late Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon’s Ocean vision. With the world’s growing population, Rev. Moon inspired a variety of oceanic-based activities to develop seafood supply and educate about the value of the ocean.{{Cite web |date=2006-04-12 |title=The Truly Fishy Side of the Unification Church |url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-truly-fishy-side-of-t_b_19008 |access-date=2025-05-30 |website=HuffPost |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Aquamar buys Shining Ocean, creating surimi powerhouse |url=https://www.seafoodsource.com/news/business-finance/huron-capitals-aquamar-buys-surimi-maker-shining-ocean |access-date=2025-05-30 |website=www.seafoodsource.com |language=en}} Guided by this vision, True World Group expanded to produce high-quality seafood, own Japanese retail and sushi stores, and supply premium dining establishments worldwide with premium seafood.
