We at Island Seafoods believe in a simple, common-sense approach to fishing and packaging: go directly to the source and deliver directly to the user. To achieve this, we package everything clean, fast and fresh. But the real "packaging" of healthy, great-tasting seafoods starts long before the day's catch reaches our fish processing plant; it begins with the environment in which these creatures are hatched. All the products at Islandseafoods.com are fished from the wilds of Alaska where they're assured the pristine, healthy life that results in the quality we demand. No farming operation can duplicate or improve on what Mother Nature has already provided, and that's the mark of a real seafood company.
True, there's a deep satisfaction that comes with appreciating the un-tampered-with riches of the land and sea, but there's so much more to our nature-over-nurture approach than a personal philosophy.
For example, because all of the salmon in our internet seafood sales inventory are nourished by the foods they find in their native environment - rather than eating the pellets that are fed to the farm-raised stock - they get the variety in their diets necessary to produce the rich pink meat, healthy omega-3s and full, complex flavor choosy eaters have come to expect. Wild salmon are at a lower risk of the diseases that plague animals that are kept in close breeding quarters, and unlike farmed salmon, they don't consume antibiotics that could end up in the flesh. Reason enough, we believe, to harvest them in their purest, most natural state.
Island Seafoods' processing and preservation methods are the closest thing most online seafood lovers will get to having the Bering Sea right in their back yards. We get each harvest directly from our trusted fishing partners and process the day's catch at our nearby Kodiak fish processing plant. Then, our rapid flash-freezing process captures and holds in that just-caught freshness right up until it's delivered. Our Internet seafood sales and overnight delivery ensure that your chosen product arrives at its destination just as it was when it left its own habitat.
