Flatfish

Eastern Fisheries’ flatfish program offers frozen-at-sea, wild-caught, MSC certified flatfish from the icy cold waters of Alaska.

Eastern Fisheries’ co-owner, O’Hara Corporation, owns and operates the catcher/processor vessels that harvest our flatfish. The catch is gutted and cleaned and immediately frozen at sea to lock in freshness, then it is redistributed to our USA or China facility, based on customer specifications, for filleting and packing.

The mild flavor and consistent availability make our Alaskan flatfish a smart and economical choice for foodservice managers and retailers.
