Holland America Line Showcases New Seafood Dishes In Partnership With Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute

Holland America Line has debuted three new dishes developed in alliance with the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI). This is the first formal relationship of its kind between ASMI and a major cruise line.  ASMI is a public-private partnership between the State of Alaska and the Alaska seafood industry established to foster economic development of the state’s renewable natural resource.

The new creations will be featured in the Dining Room on all six Holland America Line ships cruising in Alaska this season. Guests can indulge in a fried Alaska cod sandwich with malt vinegar aioli and savoy cabbage slaw; Alaskan salmon chop with cucumber, tomato, avocado, bacon and green beans; and roasted fennel crusted Alaska halibut with artichokes and Taggiasca olives.

Contributing to the impact across its six Alaska ships, Holland America Line purchases and serves locally sourced Alaska seafood, including more than 5,000 pounds of wild Alaskan seafood per cruise, comprising:

• More than 2,000 pounds of Alaska salmon consumed on each cruise with a different dish offered each evening in restaurants and a salmon bake buffet taking place once during the sailing.
• More than 1,000 pounds of Alaska cod are served on each sailing with varied dishes served throughout the ship.
• More than 800 pounds of Alaska halibut provisioned for each cruise. Halibut is featured each evening in the Pinnacle Grill specialty restaurant along with other dishes served during the cruise in other restaurants.
• More than 500 pounds of Alaska rockfish, 400 pounds of Alaska flounder and 200 pounds of Alaska black cod (also known as sablefish)are consumed during a cruise with multiple dishes on the dinner and lunch menus in various restaurants.
• More than 400 pounds of Alaska pollock purchased for each cruise.
