Consumer Research Results:
A Clear Preference for Wild, Natural & Sustainable "Alaska" Seafood

Consumer Trends and Seafood Preferences
This new consumer research completed in 2011, drew consumers from across the country ranging in gender and ages, who frequent QSR or casual chain restaurants at least 5 times per month and eat seafood at least 3 times per month.

The key findings from the research indicate that consumers are eating more fish/seafood at restaurants than they do at home.

Consumers prefer "wild" and "ocean caught" seafood versus "farm-raised".

The research shows that the Alaska brand remains strong and seeing the word "Alaska" on a menu and/or an Alaska seafood logo on a menu would increase their likelihood of ordering an Alaska fish/seafood item.

"High Quality" and "Taste" are the top two reasons consumers select fish/seafood at a chain restaurant.
