There’s going to be a new crab buyer in town. Both Sea Level Seafoods and a newcomer Alaska Ice Seafoods are expected to purchase from commercial fishermen this summer.
President and CEO of Alaska Ice Seafoods Cody Mills says years ago, his company’s original operation sold to Trident. But now Alaska Ice Seafoods is looking to move back into Southeast Alaska.
“We do a lot of live seafood,” Mills told Wrangell’s assembly on Tuesday. “That’s a big thing we do, which builds a lot of value for the fishermen because there’s usually more money left for the fishermen because you don’t have all these big processing costs.”
