Clarence Birdseye (December 9, 1886 - October 7, 1956), is considered the founder of the modern frozen food industry.
A native of New York City, he became interested in the frozen preservation of food while working as a fur trader in Labrador, Canada in 1912 and 1916, a job he had taken to help pay for his college education. He developed a commercially-viable quick-freezing process after observing Inuit quick-freezing fish in Canada.
