Sustainable, Traceable, Exceptional
At Whidbey Island Seafoods, sustainability isn’t just a promise or buzzword. It’s how they do business. They source their black cod exclusively from well-managed Alaskan fisheries, following strict, science-based quotas, to keep fish populations thriving for generations to come.
They’re set apart by total traceability. Every catch, down to the exact day and location, is tracked so when you buy smoked salmon, black cod, king crab, opilio crab, and Pacific cod, you know exactly where it came from.
They take accountability to the next level with 100% observer coverage. That means independent, trained observers are on every fishing vessel, documenting the catch, bycatch, and fishing practices. This ensures compliance with strict regulations and provides critical data for ongoing scientific research. That’s rare in the global fishing business!
Their pot-harvesting method has low environmental impact. Plus, every fish is flash frozen at sea within 45 minutes of harvest, locking in peak freshness, flavor, and nutrients. A “just-caught” taste that’s so pure, many customers enjoy it as sushi.
Giving Back, Whidbey Style
At Whidbey Island Seafood, kindness reaches beyond the water. They support Days for Girls, helping provide education and menstrual care to girls in need, and partner with the Whidbey Island Animals Improvement Foundation, helping improve the lives of four-legged friends on Whidbey Island.
