WILD ALASKA SEAFOOD - CATCH IT NOW!
Alaska: A Model for Sustainability
Unspoiled and pristine, bountiful and icy cold. Alaska manages over one million square miles of rich fishing waters against overfishing, habitat damage and pollution, ensuring abundant and wild seafood for future generations.
Since 1959, Alaska's Constitution has mandated that "fish...be utilized, developed and maintained on the sustained yield principle" - making Alaska the first and only state in the U.S. to have such language written into its Constitution. Alaska's comprehensive fisheries management practices are recognized as a successful model of sustainability for the world.
Healthy and Delicious
When it comes to heart and brain health, nothing beats the power of omega-3 fatty acids. And when it comes to omega-3s, nothing beats seafood. Especially seafood caught wild, like Alaska Seafood.
That's because only seafood provides what might be called the most essential of essential fatty acids: EPA and DHA. What about omega-3s from plants like flax? Those come from another essential acid: ALA. Unfortunately, the body converts less than 1% of ALA into EPA - and only trace amounts into DHA. That's why omega-3s from seafood benefit the heart and brain in ways plant omega-3s cannot. They can improve circulation. Enhance the immune system. And even protect the body from certain cancers.
Some of the seafood species with the highest levels of omega-3s come from Alaska: salmon, cod, halibut and sole/flounder. Now you can enjoy great flavor and health benefits at the same time!
