VIDEO: Russian pollock finding new consumers at home

The Russian pollock sector is seeing more and more domestic demand, with the supply of blocks jumping up by 53 percent over last year.

"It's a very good signal for us," Alexey Buglak, executive director of the Russian Pollock Catchers Association (PCA), told IntraFish.

The demand is coming at a good time -- Russian H&G pollock prices are low, and the sector in general is looking for new markets. Buglak said the PCA is noting the work being done on the US pollock side in terms of promotion, and said the next project for PCA is promoting Russian pollock.
