SEAFOOD FOR HEALTH

Why Alaska Seafood?

Wild Alaskan seafood is high in omega-3 fatty acids which promote heart health, suppress inflammatory responses and improve blood flow. Groundfish are an excellent source of lean protein, so eat Alaska seafood for a complete, high-quality protein to keep your muscles and bones strong and healthy.

WILD ALASKA POLLOCK

Powerhouse of Protein

A 3 ounce serving of Alaska pollock has 16 grams of protein, 130% of your B12, 285 mg of Omega-3s DHA and EPA, and 0 grams of carbohydrates. Alaska pollock is described as, “a complete protein of the highest quality” by the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. Alaska pollock is also mild and tasty, a perfect fit for many recipes. Our favorite? Fish tacos!
