Certified Sustainable Wild Alaska Pollock Featured in Nordstrom Restaurants during Earth Month
Wild Alaska pollock, the flaky white fish sustainably caught in Alaskan waters, is expanding to a center-plate role atNordstrom Restaurants this April and as a key ingredient in Trident Seafoods’ new Omega-3 supplements for people and food toppers for dogs.
Wild Alaska pollock has long been used as an ingredient in fish sandwiches and fish sticks at restaurants and widely available in the frozen section at retailers. According to a recent Life Cycle assessment study, wild Alaska pollock has a lower carbon impact than beef, chicken and pork. Sustainable harvest practices and transparency from the source to the plate allow the fish to be certified sustainable by the Responsible Fisheries Management and Marine Stewardship Council programs.
Wild Alaska pollock is also one of the most abundant fish species harvested in Alaska waters, well-managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries). Scientists set annual catch limits that ensure the species’ viability and sustainability based on some of the most comprehensive fishery and ecosystem data available globally.
In celebration of Earth Month, from April 5th – May 2nd, Nordstrom restaurants and specialty coffee bars are featuring two wild Alaska pollock dishes at stores across the country – Blackened Wild Alaska Pollock with Cajun Risotto and Blackened Wild Alaska Pollock Taco Salad. Nordstrom chefs have worked in partnership with family owned Trident Seafoods and the Association of Genuine Alaska Pollock Producers (GAPP) to showcase the versatility and great taste of wild Alaska pollock at a time when consumers are looking for more sustainable food sources and new and delicious ways to enjoy seafood.
Additionally, Trident is unveiling two new Wild Alaska Fish Oil brands, one especially designed for consumers looking for products to help maintain their lifestyles and another brand uniquely formulated for their beloved canines. These products are 100 percent made in the USA and truly demonstrate the “full usage” of the fish, that each generation at Trident Seafoods strives for. Each will be available immediately at select Nordstrom Restaurants and Specialty Coffee Bars and on Amazon.com.
