It was explained to me by someone knowledgeable when I asked why Alaskan Cod comes from China. As it turns out, it may be caught in Alaska and then sent to China for processing. Really?? What does this place look like it gets processed in? Can that really be cost effective? Haven’t we learned with all the dogs that died from tainted dog food that maybe, just maybe this isn’t a good idea?

That is the reason it is happening. It wouldn't be done if it was more expensive.

More likely it is caught by a Chinese boat and processed/filleted /frozen on board. The frozen final product is dropped off at a US port. Maybe a Walmart frozen food distribution center

It is not sent to China for processing

What do you think?

Apparently.

Nope.
