About Alaska Seafood


The icy waters surrounding Alaska's 34,000 miles of coastline are some of the largest, most productive fishing grounds in the world. Here, in pristine, natural surroundings, Alaska seafood develops lean flesh, firm texture and superior flavor - the qualities that truly distinguish Alaska seafood from all others. Alaska seafood is natural and wild, swimming freely in the cold, clear waters of the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea and the North Pacific. And the variety of species is unsurpassed!

Alaska seafood is marketed fresher-frozen and canned all year-round, with some varieties available fresh during the harvest season. And preserving this unrivaled natural quality is of utmost importance to the Alaska fishing industry, from the fisherman right to Big Y® World Class MarketsTM.

The quality of Alaska seafood is guaranteed by the expertise of the Alaska fishermen, who harvest their seafood at its peak to insure its fresh-caught flavor. The seafood is then processed fresh, fresh-frozen or canned within hours of harvesting. State-of-the-art freezing technology preserves the superior flavor and texture of freshly caught Alaska seafood.
