This pollock is caught by small boats that fish off the coast of Alaska. By choosing this species you are supporting a traditional American fishery. Atlantic pollock is an abundant groundfish harvested from the coast of Alaska. Pollock is a lesser-known cousin of the more popular species of cod or hake. The fish are caught using trawl nets specifically modified to minimize the catch of non-target species. 

Producer description

Wild For Salmon is a local business that makes fresh/frozen wild Alaskan sockeye salmon available to you here on the East Coast. Wild For Salmon is owned and operated by Steve and Jenn Kurian of Bloomsburg, PA. Because they are the fishermen and are local, it allows them to be able to provide you with the highest quality, flash/frozen, Alaskan sockeye available. June and July are busy months on their boat. The fishing season lasts approximately 5-7 weeks. Steve is the skipper of their 32’ boat, while Jenn, the first mate, and two other local men are deckhands. As they catch the fish they are kept in refrigerated holds, making sure the quality is preserved. On average, every 10 hours they offload the fish onto a larger crab boat which takes the fish in for processing. It is quickly filleted, flash frozen, and vacuum sealed to capture the “direct from the boat” flavor.

Keep frozen until ready to eat!
