Wild Alaska Pollock
Gadus chalcogrammus (Theragra chalcogramma)
Wild Alaska Pollock is a cousin to cod and shares its lean, snow-white meat, delicate, flaky textures and mild flavor. Not to be confused with the darker, oilier Atlantic pollock, Alaska pollock is one of the healthiest and most versatile fish choices available. Wild-caught in the icy waters of Alaska, Alaska pollock is the most abundant certified-sustainable wild fish in the world.
Benefits and Nutrition
Wild Alaska Pollock is a great low-calorie, low-fat, and high-protein choice to include in your diet. It’s also one of the most low-risk fish when it comes to environmental toxins, such as mercury and pesticides. At only 80 calories per serving, one cooked, 4 oz. fillet provides 19g of protein and 70mg of omega-3. Alaska Pollock is also a great source of various other nutrients and health benefits, including:
Vitamin B-12 (promotes healthy brain function)
Amino Acids (strengthen your immune system)
Phosphorous (works with calcium to maintain your bones and teeth)
Selenium (protects your body from infection)
Given its low level of contaminants and abundance of health benefits, Alaska public health officials frequently advocate for unrestricted consumption of Wild Alaska Pollock for people of all ages.
Sustainability
Wild Alaska Pollock comes from the world's largest sustainable fishery and is independently certified by both the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Certified Seafood International (CSI), a GSSI-benchmarked program built on United Nations FAO guidance. Responsibly managed and sustainably harvested from abundant wild stocks, it is recognized through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a climate-smart protein choice. Unlike farmed fish, Alaska Pollock is wild-caught and often processed directly aboard our vessels.
