(Seattle, WA) November 17, 2023 – The Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation (AFDF) kicked off their annual Alaska Symphony of Seafood competition in Seattle November 7th, 2023. With scoring based on presentation, packaging, and eating experience, a panel of industry experts chose Ocean Beauty Seafoods’ Echo Falls Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Nuggets for first place in the retail category.
The Symphony of Seafood brings together commercial-ready, wild seafood harvested in Alaska. Designed to inspire seafood product innovation, this competition promotes the development of value-added products from Alaska fisheries. Ocean Beauty is proud to participate in an event that plays a vital role in the Alaska seafood industry, supporting fishermen and local communities alike.
Packed under the nation’s leading premium retail smoked seafood brand, Echo Falls, the sockeye nuggets are also exclusively sourced from the pristine waters of Bristol Bay.

With the perfect amount of honey cured sweetness to accompany the applewood smoked salmon, this product is an easy-to-eat bite sized product that was designed to be a party pleaser.
“It’s an honor to provide retailers and consumers with creative takes on wild Alaska sockeye, and we’re thrilled that the judges at AFDF liked what we brought to the table” said Ron Christianson, Ocean Beauty’s VP of Sales and Marketing. “We’re especially grateful to our Value-Added team here at Ocean Beauty, who have truly mastered the art of culinary innovation.” Ocean Beauty Seafoods has already started shipping this product, now available for retail.
