Wild and Wonderful…

Boasting over one million square miles of rich fishing waters — more than all of the lower 48 states combined — Alaska yields nearly six billion pounds of wild seafood per year. The beauty is that there’s always plenty more left in the sea. That’s because Alaska is the only state in the nation whose constitution mandates that all fisheries be maintained on the sustainable yield principle. The result? Strict harvesting quotas and fishing regulations ensure that Alaska will have an abundance of seafood for years to come. In fact, the state’s management practices have been so successful that the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) recognizes the Alaska Salmon, Alaska Pollock, Alaska Black Cod and Pacific Halibut fisheries as managed to ensure sustainability of their stocks and their marine environment. Only a few fisheries in the world have earned MSC certification. For more information please visit www.msc.org. Alaska also legislated against finfish farming/aquaculture, so you know all Alaska Seafood is wild, natural product. Plus, the cold water and natural environment produces lean seafood with firm flesh and great taste.
