Sustainability That's
Anchored In Community
In Canada, 90% of what is caught is exported, while 80% of the seafood eaten here is imported from foreign fisheries. This is happening because the industrial seafood system is rooted in colonialism, not sustainability.
You deserve better. So we’ve built a more resilient and local system that feeds Canadians with Canadian seafood from coastal and Indigenous communities.
From Our Family
To Yours
Sonia and Shaun Strobel founded Skipper Otto in 2008 to connect home-cooks to high-quality seafood caught by small-scale, independent fishing families like theirs. Since then, they have built an innovative Community Supported Fishery that provides the best seafood found in Canadian waters and leads the charge against social and environmental injustice. They continue their mission today because it’s personal — for them and the fishing families they serve.

"We just wanted to let you know how we have enjoyed the wonderful tasting fish you have provided for us. My husband did not like fish until we joined Skipper Otto and tasted the fish you have caught for us."

Clare profile Clare Nanaimo, BC
"I am so grateful to be able to support sustainable fishing and fishing families while also eating the most delicious food. I imagine fishing isn't an easy line of work, so I appreciate all the sacrifice and effort you contribute to provide access to healthy food options for Canadians."

Carley profile Carley Kamloops, BC
"We love that we get to learn a little bit about the fisher when we pull out our package of fish. We had our first child this year, and it is so important to us that we raise him to understand what it means to live sustainably and consume mindfully."

Terena profile Terena Edmonton, AB
