Resource Management

In Alaska, protecting the future of both the Pacific cod stocks and the environment takes priority over opportunities for commercial harvest.

NOAA Fisheries and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) use surveys to assess biomass and set catch limits. Once this has been determined fishermen holding permits are allocated quota, and the number of permits is limited to prevent overfishing.

In addition, NPFMC/NOAA establish limits to mitigate encounters with non-target species, and in-season catch monitoring is rigorous. These methods ensure wild Pacific cod are available in Alaska for generations to come.

Cod is versatile. Use it in almost any recipe.

Cooking

Cod is very lean so it’s important not to overcook or over handle. This slightly sweet, firm and flaky whitefish is versatile enough to be applicable in nearly any recipe including roasting, poaching, steaming, sautéing, and deep-frying.
