Alaskan pollock fisheries have a \u2018Best Choice\u2019 rating with the Marine Conservation Society UK. The fishing methods<\/a> employed have little or no impact on the seabed and by-catch<\/a> is minimal. Various measures are also in place to safeguard fish, including marine protected areas, preservation of essential fish habitat and designated areas of particular concern \u2013 such as spawning and nursery grounds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Jordan Dunham, Seafood Sales Manager at Bidfood, is thrilled Seafrost\u2019s<\/a> commitment to supply-chain transparency and sustainability has been recognised by this award.\u00a0 \u201cWe understand that consumers are more conscious than ever when buying their seafood, and it\u2019s significantly important for us to continually do our part in having sustainable seafood products available for our customers. By prioritising sustainability at the beginning of the supply chain, we make it easier for our customers, and ultimately consumers, to choose the best option.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Seafrost\u2019s<\/a> range of surimi products includes seafood extender and the iconically Australian seafood sticks.\u00a0 \u201cAussies love a seafood stick from the fish and chip shop or seafood salad from the local chicken shop \u2013 even a surimi California roll. These are all things we know. But many customers don\u2019t think to consider surimi as an option for other dishes, yet it\u2019s incredibly versatile,\u201d says Jordan.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWe have caf\u00e9s that make a seafood roll in brioche with surimi and cocktail sauce. It also makes a beautiful quiche. And with solid margins, it\u2019s a great choice for pubs, clubs or large operations looking for a light salad that\u2019s affordable and delicious.\u201d<\/p>

Anne Gabriel, MSC\u2019s<\/a> Program Director for Oceania & Singapore, believes this transition will have wonderful outcomes for fisheries and consumers. \u201cBidfood sell over 100,000 kg of surimi products to foodservice outlets in Australia each year. By switching from uncertified fish to MSC-certified Alaskan Pollock<\/a> shows great commitment to the MSC’s mission to end overfishing,\u201d she said. \u201cWith Bidfood’s scale and reach, we look forward to seeing the MSC blue fish tick label on more menus across the country.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Brett Patience, the National Seafood Development Manager for Bidfood, says this is all a part of Seafrost\u2019s<\/a> fish-forever philosophy. \u201cThe Marine Stewardship Council<\/a> is a not-for-profit organisation with the sole mission to end overfishing<\/a>. The standards they set are quite high, so to be recognised is a big deal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
