FUN FACT! The state of Alaska is, by far, the largest producer of seafood, the majority of which is imported to other countries. In 2017, the state had 5.6 million pounds of seafood industry landings. That’s a far cry above the next state, Louisiana, which had 1.2 million pounds. Others in the top five included Washington State at 555.9 thousand pounds, Virginia at 363.3 thousand pounds and Mississippi at 304 thousand pounds.
