Celebrating top-selling U.S. species this summer

Summer celebrations are in full swing, and as grills fire up and families gather, there’s never been a better time to spotlight seafood that’s proudly caught and processed in the USA. From backyard barbecues to beachside gatherings, shoppers are seeking flavorful, high-quality options that deliver on both taste and tradition.

At Channel Fish Processing, we’re proud to source and supply some of America’s favorite wild-caught species. These seafood staples not only offer great value and versatility but also appeal to today’s consumers, who are increasingly interested in knowing where their food comes from.

Here are a few all-American standouts that deserve a prime spot in your case this summer:

Wild Alaska Pollock
America’s most widely consumed wild-caught fish, Wild Alaskan Pollock, is beloved for its mild flavor, flaky texture, and versatility on menus. Whether it’s featured in fish tacos, battered for a classic fish fry, or served as a grilled fillet, pollock is a crowd-pleaser that delivers great taste at a great price point. It’s also a sustainable choice, certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and harvested from the cold, clean waters of Alaska.

Pacific Cod
Another wild favorite from the Pacific Northwest, Pacific Cod is known for its firm texture and delicate flavor. It’s a go-to for fish & chips, but also stands up well to bold marinades and seasonings. With high protein content and low fat, it’s a nutritious pick that works across multiple departments—from prepared foods to frozen and fresh cases.

Atlantic Haddock
A New England classic, Atlantic Haddock is a staple in regional cuisine and increasingly popular nationwide. Its slightly sweet flavor and tender flakes make it a versatile option for grilling, baking, or broiling. It also offers a premium feel for shoppers looking to upgrade their summer seafood experience.

Why American Matters
Consumers are paying closer attention to labels. “Product of USA” and “Processed in USA” carry real weight. U.S.-sourced seafood supports American fishermen, meets rigorous quality and sustainability standards, and adds a level of trust shoppers appreciate.

Give your shoppers something to celebrate with a seafood case full of homestyle flavor. Channel Fish Processing is here to help you stock the American staples your customers are craving.
