The Alaska Ocean yearly catch accounts for nearly 40% of commercial caught fish in the U.S.

Alaska Ocean Seafood was established in 1988 for the purpose of processing and marketing seafood products. In 1990, the company commissioned the catcher/processor Alaska Ocean, designed and built specifically to catch and process Alaska pollock and Pacific whiting.
