Cold Ocean Seafoods, LLC -- FAQs
Are salmon and black cod sustainable fisheries?
According to the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program, Alaskan Black Cod (aka Sablefish), Alaskan King Salmon and Alaskan Coho are "best choices" -- they are some of the most sustainable fish that you can eat!
How is my seafood handled on your boat?
Fresh fish are individually quick frozen and glazed on the fishing grounds. Quick frozen is modern technology (e.g. blast freezing, plate freezing) that very quickly brings the temperature of salmon down and helps to preserve quality. Glazing, a thin coat of fresh water ice, is achieved by dipping the frozen fish several times in cold water, sealing air away from the fish and helping prolong shelf life. Fish are then preserved and stored at very cold temperatures (-10°to-20°F).
