THE QUICK READ
Westward Seafoods processes wild Alaska pollock, cod, halibut, and several species of crab at its plant in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, one of the busiest fishing ports in the United States by volume. Staffing rises and falls with the seasons, peaking above 500 workers during heavy runs and dropping closer to 100 in quieter months. The facility's ammonia system holds about 36,000 pounds, keeping large volumes of fresh-caught seafood at temperature before it ships out. Dutch Harbor sits on Amaknak Island in the Aleutian chain, roughly 800 miles southwest of Anchorage, with a year-round population near 4,300.
