Alaska Surimi

Alaska Surimi Seafood the world’s finest ingredients

The world’s finest surimi seafood products are made from high quality Alaska Pollock, which is harvested from the icy, clear waters of the Bering Sea. This is real seafood, with succulent, sweet flavor and juicy texture. Pre-cut in uniform portions to save you time and money, Alaska Surimi Seafoods are ideal for use in menu items that call for lobster, shrimp, scallops or crab. So, if you want surimi seafood that tastes, looks and cooks like the real thing, check the label to make sure it comes from Alaska.
