What’s Inside Your Roll?
FujiSan delivers flavors that inspire using ingredients that you can feel good about! We are committed to sustainable ingredient sourcing and that includes the fish that you find in our rolls.
WILD-CAUGHT ALASKAN POLLOCK
One fish that we love to highlight is our surimi, or imitation crab, which is made from Wild-Caught Alaskan Pollock. This fish is found in the cold and clear waters around Alaska and is considered Alaska’s most abundant fish. Known for its mild taste and white, flaky texture, it makes for an excellent base for many of our sushi rolls, such as our California Rolls, Dragon Rolls, and more. In Alaska, seafood is responsibly managed utilizing a world-leading science-based approach to help fish stocks, communities, and entire ecosystems thrive.

What is Sustainable Seafood & Why Does it Matter?
With concerns about our impact on the environment making headlines, many consumers are switching their eating habits toward a more eco-conscious diet. Switching to sustainable seafood is an easy way to positively impact the environment while eating healthfully. However, it can be hard to understand what a “sustainable” label really means and what the requirements are for seafood to meet that standard.
Sustainable practices include only fishing in populations that are “healthy and abundant,” fishing only to sustainable levels, “minimizing bycatch” (impact on populations other than what is being caught—think “dolphin-safe tuna”), not endangering species that are already threatened, and managing the long-term productivity of all impacted species.
Sustainable seafood is the most environmentally efficient source of protein on the planet. All seafood harvested in the United States is managed under a system of enforced, environmentally responsible practices. Plus, Alaska is the only state with sustainable fishing written directly into the state constitution.
“Sustainable seafood is sourced from responsibly managed fisheries that maintain healthy populations without harming the environment.”
Over the years, we have developed a deep sense of responsibility and care for ocean life and long-term preservation. As a company, we recognize that it is our responsibility to protect our natural resources for future generations and the preservation of our planet, and we’re proud that you can enjoy our FujiSan sushi with that same sense of responsibility.
