Rasmus Soerensen, executive VP sales and marketing at American Seafoods, looked back at a "tough" 2013 for Alaska pollock, but predicted a "much brighter" outlook for the current year,during a presentation at this week's North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF) in Bergen.
Despite a very good fishing year, the market in 2013 was tough, he said at this morning's whitefish session at NASF. It was a "financially challenging" year for many with a tough key market and a big dive in the surimi market at the beginning of the year.
