SITKA, ALASKA — A fish processer with its main plant in Sitka is being recognized for its quality and marketing efforts. Seafood Producers’ Cooperative recently won a Governor's North Star Award for International Excellence.
A troller unloads iced coho salmon at the Seafood Producers’ Cooperative, one of the fish-processing plants on Sitka’s waterfront. Workers sort the gutted, hand-bled fish as President and CEO Tom McLaughlin looks on.
"There’s no blood marks in the flesh, there’s no bruises. Then they're hand-packed. It provides a great high-quality product."
The state agrees. Seafood Producers’ Cooperative is one of six Alaska businesses and organizations that just received Governor's North Star Awards for International Excellence.
