Founded in 1996, Copper River Seafoods has grown from small beginnings in Cordova into a leader in the Alaska wild seafood industry, employing more than 700 people at its peak summer salmon season and supplying seafood to markets in Alaska and throughout the world.
“Copper River Seafoods has created one of the most recognizable brands in the seafood industry today,” says DCCED Commissioner Julie Sande, who presented the award last week during a tour of the company’s Anchorage processing facility.
The company networks with fishermen throughout Alaska to purchase a variety of wild seafood, such as halibut, cod, rockfish, and salmon, to deliver to customers in the state, the nation, and around the world. It works with several seafood delivery services throughout the United States, including Vital Choice and Alaska Fresh, which offer a convenient way for consumers to receive premium quality Alaska seafood delivered directly to their homes.
Sande adds, “In recent years, Copper River Seafoods has also been an innovator in its field by utilizing seafood byproducts and offcuts. By ensuring that the entire fish is marketable—not just the prime cuts of every filet—the company has reduced waste and created more value for the Alaska seafood resources they process.”
