To ensure the highest quality and safety, follow these recommended methods for thawing seafood:

Refrigerator Thawing: Place the seafood on a plate and thaw in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours or overnight. This method maintains a safe, constant temperature and preserves the best quality.

Cold Water Thawing: For faster thawing, place your vacuum-sealed seafood in a bowl of cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Once thawed, remove the seafood from the packaging, rinse gently with cool water, and pat dry.

Sustainably Managed Fisheries

At Whidbey Seafoods, we source our seafood from carefully managed Alaskan fisheries, ensuring fish populations remain healthy and sustainable for generations to come.

Ethically Sourced

At Whidbey Seafoods, we work with responsible fishermen who adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring that both the fisheries and local communities are supported and protected.

Low Bycatch Rates

We prioritize selective fishing techniques that target specific species, significantly reducing bycatch. This helps protect marine biodiversity and ensures that non-target species are preserved.

Minimal Environmental Impact

Our seafood is harvested using environmentally responsible methods like longlining, trolling, and pot fishing, which protect marine habitats and minimize disruption to the ecosystem.

No Artificial Inputs

Our wild-caught seafood is 100% natural, free from artificial feeds, antibiotics, and chemicals, offering a clean and environmentally friendly choice compared to farmed alternatives.

Quotas & Regulations

Whidbey Seafoods follows Alaska’s strict fishing quotas and regulations to prevent overfishing. This ensures that our seafood is harvested responsibly, protecting fish stocks for the future.

Carbon Footprint

By sourcing our seafood directly from Alaskan waters and processing it in-house, Whidbey Seafoods reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation and industrial farming.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Wild Alaskan seafood is a powerhouse of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve brain function. These essential fats are known to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and promote overall well-being.

Essential Nutrients

Wild-caught seafood from Alaska is rich in essential nutrients like vitamin D, selenium, and iodine, offering a more nutrient-dense option compared to farmed fish. These nutrients support immune function, bone health, and overall well-being.

Lean Protein without the Additives

Unlike farmed fish, which may contain artificial feeds and additives, wild Alaskan seafood provides clean, lean protein that supports muscle growth and repair without unnecessary fats or chemicals. It’s a natural and wholesome way to fuel your body.

ONLY FROM HARVESTERS WE TRUST

The F/V Baranof is at the heart of Cape Romanzof Fisheries, dedicated to harvesting the freshest, sustainably sourced seafood from the pristine waters of the Bering Sea. Originally named the Balsam, the FV Baranof began its journey as a Coast Guard 180 ft. Cactus class buoy tender with an icebreaker hull built in Duluth, Minnesota, in the early 1940s. The Baranof has played a vital role in our sustainable fishing operations for decades.
