| - Alaska, the kingdom of wild whitefish |
 Pacific cod, Alaska Pollock and other varieties of cod, as well as many varieties of flatfish, are classic examples of the types of whitefish that have long been eaten in Japan.
The Alaskan waters, known for their cold ocean currents and clean waters, are home to an abundance of natural whitefish. The most outstanding feature of this area is that 100% of all varieties of fish caught here are wild & natural.
Finfish farming is prohibited in Alaska, and
Alaska has heavy restrictions in place that apply not only to heavy industry, but also to the construction of factories, mining, the timber industry and wastewater discharge - industries that have an impact on ecosystems. It has adopted a comprehensive framework for environmental protection and preservation.
In addition, there are stringent standards in place in Alaska relating to the fishing methods and equipment used, as well as the fishing seasons. By capping catches and protecting fishing areas, Alaska is taking steps to secure a sustainable supply of fishery resources.
Consequently, Alaskan waters are home to many different varieties of whitefish.
Nine species of Alaska whitefish, which are the most popular in the Japanese market, are harvested in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska.
These two bodies of waters are very large, and seawater is very rich in nutrients creating a rich ecosystem that provides the optimum habitat for Alaska whitefish. |
| - Deliciousness and safety of Alaska whitefish |
 Alaska whitefish spend all of their lives out in the ocean. They never enter fresh water. At different stages in their lives, they feed on plankton, shrimp and other crustaceans, other fishes and marine organisms. The vast Alaskan continental shelf is an ideal environment for the development of wild whitefish.
This fertile environment supports Alaska’s sustainable fishing industry, providing rich fishing resources for the country. At the same time, the abundant feed for the fish greatly contributes to the deliciousness and safety of wild Alaska whitefish. This is because wild Alaska whitefish has a natural taste, excellent flavors and good fat that is free of unpleasant odor. |
