Sustainability
Wild Alaska Pollock is the most abundant certified-sustainable wild fish in the world. Each year only about 15% of the Wild Alaska Pollock population is harvested, leaving an abundant population to thrive for future generations. This is the result of decades of responsible fisheries management built on collaboration between scientists, government agencies, seafood companies, and the fishermen of Alaska. In the United States, Wild Alaska Pollock fisheries are managed by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC). Established by Congress more than 40 years ago, the NPFMC applies science-based management to species in the North Pacific, ensuring the sustainability of Wild Alaska Pollock and other commercial species. This means setting the catch limits well below the maximum sustainable harvest and providing a buffer for a changing ecosystem. It also entails mandating that all commercial fishing boats and processing plants harvesting or processing Wild Alaska Pollock are monitored with trained fishery observers on board and in the plants. It is expected that Wild Alaska Pollock will continue to be the most abundant certified-sustainable wild fish in the world for many years to come.

Not All Pollock Is the Same
There’s no question that the seafood marketplace can often be confusing. Many buyers are hesitant when it comes to buying fish, not really understanding what exactly it is that they are buying. With Pollock, there is a big difference between Wild Alaska Pollock and the multitude of other products in the market labeled as “Pollock.” In the United States, only Pollock caught in waters off Alaska can be labeled “Wild Alaska Pollock.” Fish labeled simply as “Pollock” is typically harvested in Russia and processed in China. Wild Alaska Pollock is generally once-frozen, with no additives. It is filleted and frozen within hours of being caught to preserve freshness, flavor, and texture. Genuine Wild Alaska Pollock is additive-free – it is typically filleted and frozen within hours of the catch. Pollock processed in China typically is twice-frozen, and contains additives used to prevent water loss. Use of additives can result in a mushy texture and overall loss of fresh flavor. Choosing once-frozen Wild Alaska Pollock combined with the species’ incredible sustainability story, make it everything consumers say they want in a seafood product. Wild Alaska Pollock is also traceable through every step, so you can rest assured that you are serving your customers the safest, highest quality, most delicious, clean label Wild Alaska Pollock available.
