Oregon Coast Albacore

Our albacore is caught using 60-foot long lines from day boats that go about 50-100 miles off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. The boat tows lures called “jigs” from fishing lines attached to outriggers, that are extended on the sides of the boat. With a crew of about six people, fisherman pull in the albacore hand-over-hand, one at a time directly from the line to process right on the boat. Albacore is one of our fish that is also “Frozen-at-Sea” – a practice of blast freezing fresh fish immediately after it’s caught, at such a low temperature that ice crystals don’t have a chance to form. This stops and breakdown of the fish, while preserving a flavor that is fresher than most fish that is brought back to land to be processed while fresh.

Hawaiian Kanpachi

Blue Ocean Mariculture is one of our most exciting aquaculture partners. Their sustainably raised Hawaiian Kanpachi has set a new standard for the seafood industry. They employ a variety of sustainable farming practices to reduce their impact on the surrounding ocean and wildlife. They use specially designed open water net pens which are engineered to eliminate the risk of unintentional wildlife entanglement, or “bycatch”. And because these fish are raised from hatch to harvest, there is no pressure on wild fish populations. The Hawaiian Kanpachi, a member of the Amberjack family, has a high protein conversion ration (weight of fish divided by its foot intake), making it an efficient and sustainable species to raise. As we grow, we see to support sustainable aquaculture operations across North America.
