We ask you to use up your share by the last scheduled pick-up in your area in the calendar year – usually Nov or Dec. (Note that brand new members who join in the autumn have until the end of the next calendar year to spend their share.) We ask you to spend down your full share because we use your membership dollars to catch seafood in that year and we can’t carry over a large inventory year to year. That being said – small leftover balances are not a concern. If you have credit remaining in your account at the end of the season, and you join again for the next season, small balances (up to around $50) will roll over to your next year share. If you have not signed up in the next season, we will hold all remaining balances in your account until the end of the sign up window and roll them over when you do renew. If you don’t renew in the next year, we will donate any unspent amounts to charity.
White Fish
Specific offerings can vary from year to year, but our mainstay products are flash-frozen, boneless, skin-on fillets and portions – in sizes that are usually around 1lb each. Lingcod fillets are usually available in both 1lb and ½ lb portion sizes. Lingcod cheeks are in roughly 1lb portion sizes. Halibut and sablefish collars are low cost options for stews and soups. Hake was not available in 2023.
2023 prices are shown here. Prices do fluctuate each year. Higher price ranges reflect the inclusion of shipping costs for locations outside of Metro Vancouver.
Halibut is caught between the months of March-November, lingcod in May, sablefish in the summer and rockfish late spring and summer. We aim to keep halibut, lingcod and rockfish in stock year-round while sablefish can be available mostly in the late summer and fall.
