Duke’s Sustainability Guarantee with Alaska Seafood

At Duke’s Chowder House, we have developed a number of sourcing strategies that ensure that our fish and shellfish meet stringent guidelines for sustainability. That’s why we proudly offer sustainably managed wild seafood from Alaska.

You might call it the law of the land. Everything Alaska does with regard to seafood is designed to prevent over-fishing and to protect one of the world’s most beautiful natural environments—it’s even written into the State of Alaska constitution! And over the past five decades, since Alaska became a state, it’s been acknowledged as a world leader in seafood sustainability.

In Alaska, protecting the future of fish stocks is more important than opportunities for commercial harvest. And Alaska’s pristine, icy waters are also managed with the utmost of care, to ensure that its seafood will remain the worlds finest for future generations.

Alaska uses the most advanced scientific methods available to protect both its fisheries and its environment. The state works closely with federal and international regulatory organizations to set firm limits on the number of fish that can be taken, then strictly monitors every aspect of the fishery, from the fishing methods used to the way other sea life is protected.

Strong healthy fish populations and clean, icy-cold waters mean that there is an abundance of wild, natural seafood that is recognized around the world for its superior flavor and texture.

Alaska guarantees it and so do we here at Duke’s Chowder House.
