Russian Pacific cod is a popular seafood export from Russia, and it is known for its firm, white flesh and mild flavor. Pacific cod is a species of fish that is found in the North Pacific Ocean, and it is commonly caught by Russian fishing fleets in the waters around the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Sea of Okhotsk.
According to data from the Russian Federal Agency for Fishery, Russia exported over 300,000 metric tons of Pacific cod in 2020, with a total value of around USD 800 million. The majority of these exports went to markets in Asia, including China, South Korea, and Japan, which are major consumers of Pacific cod for use in a wide range of food products, including fish fillets, fish sticks, and surimi.
Some fisheries have also obtained certifications from organizations like the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), which indicates that their Pacific cod products have been sustainably sourced and meet certain environmental standards. This is an important way for Russian fisheries to demonstrate their commitment to responsible fishing practices and to attract customers who are interested in sustainably sourced seafood products.
