The Alaska Quality Seafood Program is ensuring that the best seafood in the world is also the most consistent and high quality. Working with fishermen and processors, the Program has improved handling procedures and established uniform standards, and certifies the effort with independent third-party quality inspections. As a result, seafood buyers throughout the distribution chain will receive consistent salmon quality each and every time they order.
Developed and administered by Alaska Quality Seafood (AQS), this voluntary program has attracted the state's most quality-conscious fishermen and processors as its participants. The Program is comprehensive, involving all stages of harvesting and processing.
