20 Reasons to Eat More Seafood

Enjoying more fish and seafood as part of a diverse, nutrient-dense diet is on our list of goals to accomplish at the start of every year. And with the 20 reasons below, already having access to wild-caught, sustainable seafood will undoubtedly position you ahead of the game.

Here’s our top 20 reasons on why everyone should be eating more seafood:

20. A good nut crust satisfies any craving for something crispy and crunchy, and is a great alternative to frying.

19. The rise of wild Alaska pollock as “the sustainable seafood you’ll soon be seeing everywhere,” according to Vogue.

18. Fish tacos make everything better.

17. Weathervane scallops are native to Alaska, and some of the plumpest scallops on the planet.

16. Wild-caught seafood is the ultimate brain nutrition powerhouse.

15. You never have to get bored with cooking fish.

14. Eating salmon fillets will make your skin slay.

13. Four words: cold smoked sockeye salmon. 

12. Sustainable seafood is expected to be one of this year’s biggest food trends.

11. It’s the year of The Meditteranean Diet, so hooray to eating less red meat and more seafood!

9. Elevating your at-home seafood cooking game will be a cinch.

8. The challenge of mastering new seafood recipes that celebrate their healthy protein. Turmeric Salmon with Coconut Crisp or Salmon with Mustard Vinaigrette and Leeks, anyone? 

7. Sablefish (aka black cod or butterfish) from Alaska grow larger in size than their U.S. west coast counterparts, so bring on lots more buttah (fish, that is!)!

5. Becoming a better home chef with lean and clean protein is a no-brainer.

4. Our wild Alaska pollock quick cuts are extremely versatile and super easy to cook.
