Alaska Official calls for Investigation into Russian Crab Advertising
“Alaska’s speaker of the House wants an investigation of Wal-Mart sales of Russian crab that’s packaged in a box featuring a vessel that catches U.S. crab in the Bering Sea.
The sales promotion attempts to ride the fame of the F/V Northwestern and its skipper, Sig Hansen, who is featured in “Deadliest Catch,” the reality series broadcast on the Discovery Channel.” This was the report today from the Seattle Times.
This reaction from the Alaska Speaker of the house stems from an exclusive story published in the Seattle Times on Tuesday, November 15, 2007.
For fans of this site, the real surprise was the story of Captain Sig Hansen also reported in the Seattle Times. Our boats captain, Phil Harris was quoted in this story.
Phil Harris, owner of the F/V Cornelia Marie of Kodiak, Alaska, also turned down the Global Fishing marketing pitch.
“This whole thing stinks to high heaven,” said Harris. “We are madly trying to get consumers to buy American seafood.”
As the quote states, Captain Phil is not happy about Russian crab being promoted by an Alaskan fisherman. Phil Harris and the F/V Cornelia Marie crew is not associated in anyway with the sale of Russian crab. We have and will always support the fishing business in the U. S. and do not in anyway support the efforts of anyone who chooses to do otherwise.
Alaska King Crab is a superior product. The crab industry is highly regulated in the United States and has been for decades. Here is an excerpt from the Alaska Seafood Institute.
“Regardless of seafood being harvested, once the quota has been reached, the season is closed, ensuring the needs of the harvest are balanced with the needs of the ecosystem. Limits are precisely calculated to keep the world-stocked with a continuous, ever-replenishing supply of seafood the way nature intended it from the wild of Alaska.”
It will be impossible for Alaskan fishermen to compete against a country where illegal fishing is allowed to exist. The state of Alaska and Alaskan fishermen have worked hard to establish “Alaska” as a brand name when it comes to seafood. Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin states, “Recognized the world over for its effective resource management practices, Alaska is the gold standard for premium wild and sustainable seafood.”
We hope consumers do not confuse Alaska crab with crab from other countries such as Russia.

Hey Hannah!
Got out of the hospital Wednesday evening, was there for 2 weeks. Everything went fine, no worries, a bit difficult getting around, using a walker at this time for a while. About a 3 or 4 month recovery so I have way oo much tim on my hands & can’t do much of anything! No bending, no housework (darn it), pretty much resting so this all heals good. I’m very grateful that you were thinking of me, I really appreciate it! I too am really glad we’re friends,it’s a great feeling & your’e so much fun to talk to. How was Spring break? Fun I hope, Nans’ new dogs sound adorable! I hope you had a great visit with her, family is very important, it’s great your’e close by to her. Glad to hear life is sort of back to normal for you, the smallest changes can really screw things up for awhile, but usually straightens up fine. I missed you & am so glad to hear your bff isn’t too far away that you can’t see her, that’d be a bummer big time. I hope everything else is going really good for you, it’s great to be writing to you again & hearing how your’e doing. Keep me posted!! I am really glad you ARE my friend.
LOL, Lynn
