Alaska Seafood - Copper River Seafoods
FISHING IN ALASKA - A Way of Life for Generations
The family unit participating in Alaska fisheries is important to the long-term sustainability of our seafood. Many fishing operations involved with Alaska fisheries are family based and in many cases, have been harvesting fish for generations in the same area and in some instances using the same artisanal techniques. Fishery participation by families supports local community’s economies and is a valuable source of protein and nutrients that provides food security to many people around the world.
-----------------------
Copper River Seafoods was developed in 1996 by four dedicated Alaskan fishermen with two things in common; a passion for the Alaska wild salmon industry and a belief in its incredible potential. The roots of Copper River Seafoods grew from three flourishing Alaskan fishermen Pip, Bill Bailey and Scott Blake. The objective was to process and promote the superior Copper River salmon in a way that would respect its quality, generate a fair profit for fishermen, and introduce consumers to the savory world of seafood.
In 1996, these three quality and consumer oriented companies merged together to create Copper River Seafoods. Through their success in the salmon industry, Copper River Seafoods has since extended their high quality services beyond just salmon. Building on their values of quality assurance, purity, value-added products, and meeting consumer needs, Copper River Seafoods networks with fishermen throughout Alaska to purchase a variety of other fine seafood such as halibut, cod, rockfish and crab. After purchasing, all products are processed and delivered with Copper River Seafoods' standard for unwavering excellence and service. Today, Copper River Seafoods is recognized as the premier producer of Alaskan seafood and as a standard for the highest quality seafood available.
