Frozen fish? Not weird at all. At Wild Alaskan Company, we’re huge fans of frozen seafood - here’s why we love it:
1. Locked-in freshness. We freeze wild-caught seafood shortly after harvest so that it retains its fresh taste and texture. It’s the closest you can get to having it on the boat in Alaska.
2. Often fresher than grocery store “fresh.” Seafood at the counter is often previously frozen fish that’s been thawed for display. Do you really know how many days it’s been sitting on ice? (We don’t either!)
3. Freezer-friendly convenience. Stock up once, and you’re ready for healthy, delicious meals all month — no last-minute trips to the store.
