Rockfish is a less common type of seafood that you've probably never tasted fresh unless you live in the Northwestern United States.  

Luckily for you, Global Seafoods North America processes and flash freezes rockfish so that you can enjoy fresh tasting, wild Pacific rockfish no matter where you live. We process our rockfish immediately and flash freeze to ensure optimal taste and texture. We ship our rockfish fillets over dry ice, so they arrive at your door still frozen.

What is Rockfish?  

Rockfish are a fish that troll the deep cold waters of the Pacific Ocean, often hiding under and in between rocks for safety and food. Fishers catch rockfish usually while fishing for other types of seafood. These accidental catches come aboard boats and are processed into fillets and sold in limited numbers. Due to the limited numbers of catches allowed, rockfish are available during certain times only, so don't miss out on the opportunity to try this phenomenal catch. 

Rockfish are a long-lived fish, the oldest ever caught was estimated to be approximately 200 years old! 

Types of Rockfish

There are several types of rockfish: 

  • Black Rockfish
  • Redbanded Rockfish
  • Yellowtail Rockfish
  • Copper Rockfish
  • Yelloweye Rockfish
  • Rougheye Rockfish

Most species of Alaska rockfish are regulated by the fishing authorities, with some being more regulated than others. Wild rockfish is the only way you will find this seafood. Rockfish is not a farmed fish.

What is Rougheye Rockfish?  

Rougheye rockfish are one of the longest-lived species of rockfish with an average lifespan of well over 100 years. The name, rougheye rockfish, comes from a row of spines underneath their lower eyelid. Rougheye rockfish do form schools from time to time, making them easier to catch at certain times of the year, especially during spawning season.

Rockfish is known for its large flakey texture and a mild taste. Rockfish is slightly sweet and is used in virtually any white fish recipe.
