There’s a better choice when it comes to seafood. 

 Wild and sustainable, seafood from Alaska is free to roam miles of ocean and roaring icy rivers, and is responsibly sourced by fisherman at just the right moment and in just the right way. This all adds up to superior wild seafood, deep in color, rich in flavor and packed full of vitamins, minerals and omega-3s

Make the wild choice. #AskForAlaska.

TGIF! We’re kicking off the weekend with a nostalgic comfort-food favorite: crispy Alaska pollock fish sticks with a platter of delicious dips.

One bite and suddenly we’re back in our childhood kitchens… except these taste even better than we remembered. It’s the same easy convenience but with an upgraded flavor. 🙌

One bite and suddenly we’re back in our childhood kitchens… except these taste even better than we remembered. It’s the same easy convenience but with an upgraded flavor. 🙌

When a dip is this easy, it’s bound to become your go-to for hosting.

Don’t believe us? Try it for yourself:

Step 1: Make the salmon spread
Add pink salmon, yogurt (or cream cheese), lemon juice, minced onions and pepper to a bowl. Mix until fully combined; can also blend in a food processor.
Refrigerate until ready to serve

Step 2: Assemble spread and serve
To compile, add spread to a bowl or a plate. Add pickles, pickle relish, chives, or herbs on top.
Serve as a dip with veggies like celery sticks, carrot sticks or green pepper strips for dipping or spread on bread, crackers or tortillas.

Yep, that`s all you need to make your new favorite dip.

Easy, delicious and guaranteed to disappear fast. 😉
