A cousin of the cod, Wild Alaska Pollock is harvested from the rich and pristine waters of Alaska’s Bering Sea. Chefs seek out Wild Alaska Pollock for its mild taste and white, flaky texture. It’s also attractive for its abundance and sustainability.
THE FROZEN-
AT-SEA Advantage
We catch and process Wild Alaska Pollock immediately after harvest, while still at sea, and with no antibiotics (ever). This at-sea advantage preserves more freshness, taste, and nutrition.
Fresh, flaky mild tasting
Wild Alaska Pollock boasts a tender yet firm texture. Perfect for a wide variety of popular preparations, heart healthy Wild Alaska Pollock is a lean and protein-rich whitefish that’s high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Sustainability that leads the way
Our Wild Alaska Pollock harvest comes with unmatched “green” production credentials, including one of the lowest carbon footprints and zero freshwater usage (because we make it ourselves)—far lower than meat and even plant protein production.
Quality products superior in every form
With a majority of the at-sea quota, American Seafoods is the world’s largest at-sea processor of Wild Alaska Pollock. We use every part of each fish to produce a variety of high-quality fish products.

SURIMI (RAW MATERIAL)
Originating in Japan centuries ago, modern-day surimi (raw material) made from our Wild Alaska Pollock is the foundational ingredient for some of the world’s most popular seafood snacks, side dishes, and entrees.
