Quality, sustainability and traceability.
Wild-caught by the fishermen-owners of Seafood Producers Cooperative, our seafood represents an unparalleled commitment to quality, traceability and sustainability. With extensive quality measures in place, from our boats, to our dock and through the supply chain, you can rest assured that our seafood will always deliver the premium taste and appearance that you and your customers have come to expect from the Seafood Producers Cooperative and our Alaska Gold Brand.
What makes us different is that we are 100% fishermen-owned – from boat to doorstep, we own the process. Our fishermen catch it, we process it right at our very own processing facility and then it is delivered to your location. This means that our seafood is actually traceable.
Our fishermen take to the waters in search of the finest wild seafood. And they do so with respect for the resource and adhering to science based fisheries management regulations. The stocks we fish are abundant and well managed and our fishing gear is low impact and set from a fleet of individually owned and operated small fishing boats.
When you buy from SPC, you’re not only choosing the highest quality wild seafood, you’re also supporting small boat fishermen and a way of life.
The fishermen’s Co-op since 1944.
Back in 1944, a group of halibut fishermen realized that the best way to ensure that their fish were delivered with quality from ocean to market and to safeguard the fairest price for their hard work was to start a company that they the fishermen owned. They formed what would become North America’s oldest and most successful fishermen-owned cooperative. What is now known by the Southeast Alaska fishing community as “the Co-op” started out as Halibut Producers Cooperative and processed halibut liver oil to produce vitamin A. The Co-op has now become a full-fledged organization that provides premium-quality seafood to purveyors of fine seafood across the globe.
