Other Wild Alaska Shellfish
Other delicious and nutritious Alaska Shelfish are available throughout the year. Alaska's harvest of bivalve shellfish has expanded significantly over the past decade as the dive fishery opened up new geoduck clam beds and new oyster and mussel farms develop. Meanwhile, sustainably managed fisheries on shrimp, razor clams, and sea cucumbers continue to provide a wide array of high quality shellfish products for global markets.
