Wild Alaskan Pollock: The World’s Best Whitefish for You and Your Pet

Alaska Naturals

When Alaska became a state in 1959, sustainability was written into its constitution. Today, Alaska remains home to some of the most carefully managed and sustainable fisheries in the world. Among them, Wild Alaskan Pollock stands out as one of the healthiest and most environmentally responsible seafood choices available.

Fish is widely known for its many health benefits. It provides lean, high-quality protein and essential nutrients such as Vitamin D, Vitamin B2, and magnesium. It is also packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain, heart, and joint health. According to Healthline, people who regularly eat fish have a lower risk of stroke and heart disease. Fish also supports good sleep, sharper eyesight, and improved cognitive function as we age.

While salmon and tuna are household favorites, Wild Alaskan Pollock is one of the ocean’s best-kept secrets. It is naturally low in environmental contaminants like mercury and pesticides, making it one of the cleanest, safest fish you can enjoy. Best of all, your pets can benefit from it too.

Why Wild Alaskan Pollock Is a Smart Choice

Wild Alaskan Pollock is abundant, sustainable, and responsibly harvested. It is sourced from the cold, pristine waters of Alaska, where fishing practices are designed to protect marine ecosystems for future generations. This ensures that every fillet and every drop of oil from Pollock supports not just your health but the health of the planet.

For pet owners, this means choosing Wild Alaskan Pollock isn’t only a healthy option but also an environmentally conscious one.

The Benefits of Fish for Dogs

Fish can be a game-changer for canine health. Wild Alaskan Pollock provides natural EPA and DHA Omega-3s, which support brain development, joint flexibility, and a shiny coat. Dogs that regularly eat Pollock may experience better mobility, calmer behavior, and improved skin and coat condition.
