As competition for space on the plate continues to grow and inflation impacts numerous aspects of the seafood supply chain, this purpose is more important than ever. From touting the unmatched nutritional benefits and mouth-watering taste of our fish to sharing the world-leading responsible harvest practices of Alaska’s fisheries and fishermen, ASMI activities highlight the premium attributes that set Alaska Seafood above the rest. |
