Alaskan Cod LEAN & FLAKY FILLETS
As odd as it sounds, cod could be considered the Levi’s of the seafood world – traditionally popular, straightforward, dependable & satisfying. Our Alaska fillets will exceed expectations, they are skinned & trimmed to party white plumpness & deliver that big lustrous flake that is the calling card of this enduring favorite.
Seajoy Organic Raw Shrimp. Sustainability
The owners of Seajoy helped found the Global Aquaculture Alliance, a worldwide organization dedicated to advancing environmentally and socially responsible aquaculture.
The primary elements of our sustainable shrimp farming practices include:
-Closed Cycle Selection: We only use shrimp that are native to the region in our hatcheries, so we avoid introducing shrimp from other regions into our ponds.
-Recirculated Water: We use a unique recirculating biofiltration system in our hatchery. This allows us to minimize the amount of sea water we use. And prior to returning any water to the sea, we sterilize it to avoid introducing any pathogens.
-Antibiotic Free: We do not use any antibiotics or any substances that are prohibited for use in aquaculture.
-Environmental Awareness: We promote a culture of environmental awareness among all our employees.
-Low Stocking Densities: We stock our shrimp ponds at very low densities, minimizing the amount of organic sediment.
-Mangrove Forestation: We have our own mangrove nursery that allows us to conduct a large scale mangrove forestation program.
-Environmental Adherence: We follow all environmental laws and regulations of the countries where we farm shrimp.
-Minimal Use of Resource: We minimize the use of power and water in all our farming and processing operations.
