For Fresh-Fish Lovers Everywhere: An Overview of the Alaska Seafood Harvesting Seasons Chart

With the food technologies of the modern era (in other words, the freezer), delicious Alaska seafood is available all year long. It is not longer necessary to think about harvesting seasons, peak times, etc. ... unless, of course, you want to. In spite of the luxury that the ability to freeze food allows us in being able to enjoy Alaska seafood all year, some may still prefer the freshness only possible during specific times of the year. If you are included in this group of "freshness snobs", consult the Alaska Seafood Harvesting Seasons Chart to find out what you will and won''t want to have for dinner tonight.

If you find yourself in the midst of winter, know that salmon (unless it is of the King species) is not in your immediate future. The four other types of salmon found in the Alaska Seafood Harvesting Seasons Chart - Sockeye, Coho, Keta and Pink - appear to be harvested in summer months and will therefore be difficult to find fresh from October to May.

If you are looking for fresh whitefish, you will be in luck most of the year. Rockfish is available year round, and Flounder, Halibut and Black Cod can be found fresh all of the time except for in December and January. Cod is also a fairly safe bet, but watch out as fishing may be subject to sporadic openings and closings in the summer months.

Shellfish seasons tend to vary significantly, so be watchful. Luckily, Oysters and King Crab should be generally available all year. Other species, however, are not. For example, Snow Crab is a wintertime specialty, and Dungeness Crab will be fresh only during the latter half of the year. Consult the Alaska Seafood Harvesting Seasons Chart to find information regarding other shellfish like Shrimp and Scallops, which are available at varying times of the year.

The next time you are looking to enjoy a meal of fresh, tasty seafood, make sure to let the Alaska Seafood Harvesting Seasons Chart be your guide and reap all the benefits fresh Alask a seafood has to offer.

Alaska Halibut is on the Menu for Family Dinner Tonight

Seafood is among the most nutritious dinner options available today. Full of fatty acids such as Omega-3 as well as other important minerals and vitamins, fish is essential to any healthy diet. While this is a fact of which most adults are aware (and a dietary rule to which many attempt to adhere), convincing children who are less than adventurous in the area of food to include seafood in their diets can prove a bit complicated.

But have no fear! Introducing Alaska Halibut, the world''s premium whitefish, your dinner table tonight may do just the trick. With a mild flavor, a firm texture and few bones, this "steak of seafood" appeals to all members of the family. Its slightly sweet flavor is enough to please and intrigue a husband looking for variety while satisfying the less sophisticated preferences of a child.

The Alaska Halibut itself can grow to over 300 pounds. It is the largest of all flatfish and is one of the largest known saltwater fish. That said, there is no thing heavy to its delicate, succulent flavor. The meat of Alaska Halibut is naturally lean and light. Its shape-maintaining firm and flaky texture renders it suitable for use in several types of cooking methods and ethnic applications, ranging from grilling, to saut

A Responsible Consumer''s Guide to Buying Whitefish

Whitefish sure have come a long way from their days as food for everyone from the whole family to the family''s sled dogs. You see, Alaskans have been literally surviving thanks to these plentiful fish since the beginning of the state, and long before that, too. But for most States-side dwellers who live on the continent, whitefish hasn''t been a popular item on the menu. With recent decimation of other fish populations, though, and a huge skyrocketing of popularity for fresh Alaskan salmon, the culinary and eco-concious world is looking to Alaska for tips and ideas for what they should start eating next.

This whitefish buyer''s guide will introduce the basic history of the fish, as well as provide some helpful tips for your next shopping trip, as well as some recipe suggestions. One of the major benefits for frugal shoppers is that whitefish tastes great when mixed with salmon in dishes, but is substantially cheaper due to its huge population and relatively simple breedin g practices (there''s no upstream swimming and near-death experiences for this type of fish). In addition to tasting great, the combination of the colors of salmon meat and whitefish meat is aesthetically pleasing, too.

A hugely popular way of serving whitefish is to combine it with salmon meat. One simple recipe is to press together minced whitefish and salmon meat, combine it with some carrots, leeks, and eggs, salt to taste, and then fry the cakes in a well-oiled pan. A number of different dipping sauces can be made for the side, and the dish goes well on family dinner tables or elaborate spreads at parties. The whitefish buyer''s guide that''s part of the aquarium watch program assures consumers that whitefish is nowhere near being overfished, so there''s no reason to not trot this recipe out at every opportunity.

Most shoppers aren''t aware that there are actually multiple types of whitefish. The broad and humpback whitefish are often known as "true whitefish" a nd are found in numerous rivers all over Alaska, but especially over in the Yukon. They are popular for sports fishermen and are frequently the type of whitefish that make it to dinner tables all across the country. The smaller least cisco, which bares resemblance to herring, is fished near Bristol Bay and frequently caught by spears and hooks. They are more important as food to other fish, but are also caught and sold as food.

Perhaps the most popular type of whitefish you don''t even know as whitefish: Bering cisco is larger, meatier, and often sold under the name "white trout," though this whitefish buyer''s guide lists them as what they truly are. The fish usually get much larger than other types of whitefish, and are perfect for simple, hearty dishes, as well for using in soup.

For shoppers unaccustomed to purchasing whitefish, it''s best to head to a grocery store where you can be sure that fish products come in from Alaska, where the whitefish population is ple ntiful, the waters clean, and the quality of fish significantly higher. Many different watchdog groups publish different guides to responsible consumption of fish, and the whitefish buyer''s guide of the latest editions all lists the different species of whitefish as safe and responsible to consume, if it''s from Alaska. Make sure to do your research, and not only will the meal you put on the table be delicious, it will be the most healthy type of seafood possible to serve, too.
