In the state of Alaska, no other kind of activity is as considerable in its extent or its intensity as seafood processing. That’s because the seafood industry accounts for an enormous portion of the total income of Alaska households, and it is the number one private sector employer in the entire state. To make sure that the quality and taste of the highly prized species caught in its waters remains intact all the way till it is served up on a plate, wherever in the world that may be, the industry relies not only on state of the art technology but furthermore on overwhelming community support during the processing of Alaska seafood.
