Seafood processing startup OneForNeptune saw an "immediate surge" from customers when its new flavors of Alaska pollock jerky, sourced from American Seafoods' raw material, went online last week, CEO and founder Nick Mendoza told IntraFish.

American supplied OneForNeptune with whole fillet pollock blocks for the product, which had already launched through Amazon earlier in the month. It was the company's ability to "articulate Alaska pollock's sustainability" that drew Mendoza to American, he said.
