While Alaska’s wild salmon and crab are considered premium products, fish from Alaska accounted for only 9% of the world salmon market and 9% of the world crab market, the report said. Competition from farmed salmon and wild Russian salmon dominates that market, according to the report. Much of the world market for crab is claimed by king crab from Russia – the world’s top king crab producer – and snow crab from Canada.

He mentioned the closure of the seafood plant in the fishing community of King Cove. Alaska supplied 60% of U.S.-produced seafood, based on the 2021 and 2022 data, and if it were an independent nation, it would rank No. 9 as a global supplier of wild seafood, the report said. Yet Alaska provided only 1.8% of the global supply, on average, during those years. Jason is inspired by everything food, from cooking it himself and learning new techniques to seeing chefs portrayed in TV and movies.
Report portrays mixed picture of Alaska’s huge seafood industry
Because of inflation, consumer demand dropped, notably in the United States, where it fell below pre-pandemic levels. A strong dollar and weak yen made Alaska seafood prices less competitive in Japan, a key market, the report said. There was a large amount of 2022 harvested fish leftover as inventory, making wholesalers and retailers less inclined to buy fish in 2023, the report said. And the global supply of key species like pink salmon and pollock increased dramatically, notably from Russia but also in Alaska, the report said.
Executive Chef Ivar's Salmon House
His favorite food is any style of taco — fish, chicken, carne asada, slow roasted pork — you name it. He revels in the tradition and culture you can taste with the first bite, bringing that feeling to the food he makes. Favorite daily entrees and fresh-sheet selections include alder-smoked salmon, prawns, alder-smoked chicken, and seasonal seafood specials. The outdoor Fish Bar offers casual lakeside dining or quick take-out food. It is the first closure of the King Cove plant in more than a century of operation other than a closure made necessary by a 1976 fire that destroyed the facility, Weiss said.

The seafood industry, between harvesters, processors and managers, accounted for 48,000 jobs on average in 2021 and 2022, equivalent to 29,100 full-time positions, the report said. That is a reduction from the 62,200 total jobs in 2019, the equivalent of 37,400 full-time positions. In 2021 and 2021, there were 1,100 people employed in commercial fisheries across that wide swath of Alaska, working the equivalent of 300 full-time jobs, the report said. In 2019, there were 3,100 people working in commercial fishing in that region, amounting to an equivalent of 1,300 full-time jobs, the previous report said.
Ivar Haglund Flounder
He loved the smells, flavors and colors of his mother’s cooking, and he reveled in the joy the guests showed after eating her meals and interacting with her. In time, after observing and getting time cooking on the line, Jason was given the opportunity to begin prepping and cooking alongside his mother. Before visiting any one of our restaurants, be sure to look through the list below to make sure the location you choose has your favorite menu item. Salmon accounted for 40% of the value of commercially harvested seafood, while pollock was the top-quantity fish, accounting for 59% of the harvested volume in 2021 and 2022, the report said. For Alaska seafood in total, the U.S. domestic market was the top consumer destination, accounting for about $2 billion worth of product annually, the report said.
Here, in a dining setting filled with Northwest native art, décor and historical photographs, you'll enjoy memorable meals surrounded by spectacular views of boats cruising Lake Union and Seattle’s skyline. In 1971, largely based on the interior of the Salmon House, the Seattle Historical Society gave Haglund and Adams its Award of Merit for historical contributions to Seattle. The report from the McKinley Research Group, titled The Economic Value of Alaska’s Seafood Industry, is the latest in a periodic series commissioned by the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute.

The second-biggest market as of 2021 and 2022 was Japan, which took in $650 million worth of Alaska seafood annually, the report said. For sockeye salmon, prices paid to fishers delivering their catches were, on average, less than half of what they were paid in 2022, the report said. It was the lowest nominal price since 2004 “and among the lowest prices on record when adjusted for inflation,” the report said. While the dollar and employment totals did not use 2023 data, the report included specific information about one of the main fisheries affected.
And there’s no better way to celebrate your favorite mom than by taking her out for brunch at Acres of Clams, Salmon House, or Mukilteo Landing. Each location has a special brunch menu fit for a queen—with buffets at the Salmon House and Acres of Clams—from traditional breakfast items to Ivar’s seafood specialties. Jason began his career in the restaurant industry at 15 years old while working as a dishwasher for his mother, a chef who followed recipes handed down from Jason’s grandmother.
His future in music and entertaining took a slight detour when his waterfront aquarium needed a vendor to feed its guests. This dining destination has since spawned many more restaurants to delight future generations. Click the link below to read about the beginnings of our “flounder” as a restaurateur and his wacky promotional antics. Sunday, May 12 is Mother’s Day, the day to show mom how much you care (though, that should be every day).
At that time, local fishers made do by for a while by delivering their fish elsewhere, and the King Cove plant was rebuilt relatively quickly, he said. Fishermen are losing markets, in some cases not being paid for last year’s catch, and processing plants (are) closing or for sale,” he said. At that committee hearing, a representative of a region of the state heavily dependent on commercial fisheries expressed strong support for the task force plan. One day when the restaurant was short two cooks during a morning shift, and Jason’s mother let him run the line for breakfast at the age of 16.
The experience was everything he’d hoped, especially after seeing the positive reactions from the diners. There was no going back for him at this point – he knew he wanted to be a chef. When you visit, you will find a beautiful cedar replica of a Northwest Native American Longhouse, complete with an open-pit Native American-style barbecue for preparing succulent alder-smoked dishes.

The global crab market was affected by Alaska harvest closures, the report noted. The Alaska seafood industry remains an economic juggernaut, but it is under strain from forces outside of the state’s control, according to a new report commissioned by the state’s seafood marketing agency. The Northwest dining legacy that is Ivar’s began in 1938 with one very entrepreneurial spirit, the late Ivar Haglund.
