Wild Alaska Pacific Cod Season Is Underway

When the first Pacific cod of the year hits the dock, everything shifts. The crew moves quicker. The knives stay sharp. And the fish cases start to fill with clean, white fillets that tell us one thing loud and clear.

The arrival of January marks one of Alaska’s most anticipated traditions: the start of cod season. As the fleet heads into cold winter waters, it’s easy to see why Alaska cod is so respected. It’s mild, flaky, versatile, and harvested with care by hardworking fishermen. This is the time of year when the docks come alive, the plant gets busy, and the first fresh fillets of the season reach the market.

This is one of the most dependable and best-tasting fish Alaska has to offer. It’s wild, handled with care, and sourced sustainably from healthy Alaska fisheries.

Why Alaska Cod Is Always a Good Catch

Cod has earned its place in kitchens across the country. It's mild, clean, and incredibly easy to cook. From busy weeknights to relaxed weekends, wild Pacific cod shows up and makes any meal better.

Here’s why customers love it:

Flaky texture: Alaska cod cooks up tender and flaky while still holding its shape, so it won’t fall apart in the pan or turn mushy in soups and stews.

Mild, clean flavor: Cod has a gentle taste that pairs well with everything from simple butter and herbs to bold spices and sauces.

Easy to cook: Cod thaws quickly and cooks evenly, making it a reliable choice when dinner needs to come together fast.

Kitchen‑friendly versatility: Pan fry it, bake it, add it to chowder, or fold it into tacos. Cod adapts to whatever style you’re in the mood for.

Freezer ready portions: Vacuum sealed fillets store neatly, protect quality, and make it easy to use just what you need without waste.

Cod is reliable, flexible, and easy to love. That’s why it’s in so many kitchens.
