ISA was founded in 1978 in Kodiak, Alaska with a vision toward better and more complete utilization of the bountiful ocean resources that populate the vast Gulf of Alaska. Integral in this founding vision was a sense of duty and stewardship in not only using these resources, but also toward preserving them. ISA’s founders believe that the many blessings of the world’s oceans are key to solving world hunger and providing a healthier diet.
Plants such as ISA’s which are located at port are more commonly referred to as shorebased processors. This allows us to take delivery of fresh fish right off the fishing boats, and then quickly clean, grade, process and package – insuring seafood processed at the peak of freshness. ISA had the distinction of being the first shorebased processor in Alaska certified to produce U.S.D.C. Grade A seafood, producing fish fillets and blocks of exceptional quality. As well, ISA has the largest cold storage in Kodiak, with a capacity of 1.2 million pounds.
