At the 2015 Boston seafood show, the Alaskan Jack’s brand of value-added, consumer-packaged seafood made a loud debut with a big booth, press releases, and a Best New Retail award at the show.

The brand was a collaboration between troubled seafood company Yihe and sales and marketing company Resource 1. Under the terms of the agreement, Yihe produced the line, which was dominated by flavored wild Alaska salmon items, in both China and California, and Resource 1 built the brand and moved the product into retail outlets.
