Catching area: Dutch Harbour / Bering Sea

Alaska pollock is a fish that lives particularly in the Pacific Ocean. Our Alaskan pollock is often wild caught around Dutch Harbour and the gulf of Alaska. Since this is quite far away we have to import the fish all the way from China. However, we can ensure you that our imported fish is processed, packed and transported in perfectly high conditions since we know our suppliers personally.

When the fish is caught it is most of the times frozen and filleted aboard. However, sometimes the pollock is filleted in China itself.

Rated sustainable bij the Marine Stewardship Council

The fish is very popular and widely distributed. And although it is caught in large numbers, the Marine Conservation Society rates Alaska pollock trawled from the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, and Aleutian Islands as sustainable. This because of the catch limits and good fisheries management. Van der Lee is selling this fish proudly because of the healthy pollock stocks of Alaska (United States)

However, Alaska pollock is consumed in a lot of countries. For example, the fillets of the fish are commonly used in dishes in global fast food chains. Salted or smoked pollock roe is used a lot in Japanese and Russian cuisines. This is one of the reasons why most of the times the roe of the Alaska pollock is cut off and exported to Japan.
