Over 70 years ago, a group of Alaskan halibut fishermen realized that the best way to ensure that their products were delivered with quality from ocean to market was to process their own fish instead of depending on the services of agents and distributors. They formed what would become North America’s oldest and most successful fishermen’s cooperative: Seafood Producers Cooperative.
What started in 1944 as a cooperative to provide halibut liver oil to vitamin companies has now become a full-fledged organization that provides the highest quality fish available to sushi producers in Japan, smokers in New York City, upscale restaurants across the United States, and reputable grocery purveyors in Europe. And the fishermen are still the boss. Alaska Gold fish have been so popular around the world that they wanted to make it available for convenient delivery to consumers in the United States with their retail website.
The mission of Seafood Producers Cooperative is to maintain an opportunity for quality oriented fishermen to participate in a cooperative organization that provides processing, marketing and support services which will allow members to maximize the benefits of their fishing efforts and provide the consumer with the highest quality seafood possible.

In the same way that their fishermen consistently give individual attention to the fish they
