Atlantic pollock has a light and flaky texture, but a fuller flavor compared to cod and haddock. Not to be confused with Alaskan pollock, Atlantic pollock is a larger and oilier fish. Aside from delicious, it is also low in saturated fat and an excellent source of vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium.
This Atlantic pollock is chem-free and a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under strict U.S. regulations. It is trawl-caught in the Georges Bank by the fishing partners of Pier Fish, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Headquartered on the historic Boston Fish Pier, Red’s Best was founded in 2008 by Jared Auerbach to serve fishermen from local coastal communities in the USA. They aggregate catches, networking small boats with proprietary technology to form a large market presence and level the global playing field. They sustain the livelihoods of American fishermen while sustaining fisheries for harvest. Red’s Best connects you to your fishermen and tells the story of every catch.
As a young fisherman from Boston, Jared worked on commercial vessels in Alaska and Cape Cod during the early 2000’s. He worked alongside hardworking fishermen and saw that with the advent of industrial technology and the governmental regulation of open oceans, traditional fishing communities and family fishing businesses began to struggle for survival. He also saw the abundance of species available in New England’s pristine cold waters. He set out to create a way for consumers to have direct access to the freshest seafood and envisioned a brand that would represent each and every fisherman and the pride of the profession. Red is every fisherman.
