Processed seafood is the smallest family in the seafood group, with two whitefish materials: processed Alaska pollock and breaded cod fillet. Only the first has a LiveQuote index, so the family average and the material are one and the same. As of 4 November 2026, it is down 2.0% over three months and 13.8% over a year.
No other seafood family is lower than a year ago. Across the whole group, indexed materials rose 7.2% on average over twelve months and 1.1% over three, and 78 of 126 gained over the quarter. With a single index, the family average moves only when that one material moves, so it can swing further than the averages of larger families.
For processed Alaska pollock, the three-month drop is small, so most of the annual decline came before August. It is one of the 46 seafood materials that fell over the quarter, and the only priced line in this family, lower on both horizons as of 4 November.
Breaded cod fillet has no index but carries a market note running to 2 November. It reports that on 26 October EU ministers agreed the 2027 Baltic Sea fishing quotas, leaving cod limits unchanged. They kept cod recovery measures in place while raising the catch limits for Baltic sprat and herring.
The same note says Norwegian whitefish export prices were mixed in week 43, according to a report dated 28 October. It gives no price for the breaded product itself: it describes the raw-material backdrop for cod rather than the finished, coated fillet.
The matching raw species, Alaska pollock and cod, are tracked in the fish family with their own moves and market notes.
