Is Frozen, Fresh?
Advanced freezing technologies in Alaska allow fish to be frozen hours after it's caught,
locking in fresh-caught flavor and texture, and ensuring quality.

Why Alaska Seafood?
All seafood from Alaska is wild, which means it swims free in Alaska's icy, pure, pristine
waters. Alaskans understand the need to protect their fisheries and surrounding habitats
for future generations, which is why Alaska seafood is required by law to be sustainable.
This means the fish stocks are plentiful, making it an environmentally smart seafood
choice. Click here to learn about the Alaska seafood story www.alaskaseafood.org
