Alaska has an act called the Magnuson-Stevens Act. It basically only allows fish surplus to Alaskan needs to be exported out of Alaska. You can either export it to China or you can put it on foreign factory ships or you can export it to Canada.
The fact is that their plants never go wanting. In fact, they have so much fish that they have to put forward a plan showing how much each company is going to process to the Alaska government prior to the season.
Yes, we could say that we're not going to bring any Alaska fish down. We only bring fish that are surplus to Alaska processing needs to Canada.
