Our Operations Where We Fish

American Seafoods operates exclusively in U.S. federal waters, and only sells fish that has been caught or processed onboard one of our six catcher processors. Our vessels participate in these four fisheries:

Wild Alaska Pollock

Caught exclusively in the Bering Sea west of Alaska and north of the Aleutian Island chain, this is the largest fishery in the U.S. and has been managed sustainably for decades.

WILD PACIFIC HAKE (WHITING)

Similar to Wild Alaska Pollock but caught off the coast of Oregon and Washington, this is the largest hake fishery in the world and is routinely harvested at only a fraction of its scientificallydetermined Total Allowable Catch (TAC).

Wild Pacific Cod And Yellowfin Sole

These two species are caught by our fishing vessel Katie Ann exclusively in the Bering Sea.

Our Operations How We Fish

Our fleet of six Det Norske Veritas (DNV) classified fishing vessels employs the latest technologies and have been continually optimized with upgraded equipment over the years to maximize operational and fuel efficiency. Our catching, processing, and freezing uses no land or freshwater resources, which results in premium products with a minimal environmental footprint.
