We make it easy for you to enjoy high-quality, sustainably sourced seafood that directly supports small-scale, independent Canadian fishing families.

Become a Member

How it works:

  1. Step 1: Become a member.

    Enjoy a year’s worth of seafood, starting at $100. If you want more seafood, you can top up anytime.

  2. Step 2: Shop online.

    Order what you want, when you want. Choose a pick-up location or home delivery and select a date. Shop our range of wild, sustainably caught salmon, halibut, spot prawns, tuna and much more.

  3. Step 3: Collect your catch.

    We’ll ship your seafood to one of our 80+ convenient pick-up locations across Canada or to your doorstep. Collect and enjoy!

A Membership That Matters

We do things a little differently. Each year, the money you commit at the start of the season (aka your share credit) is used to guide our fishing plans, so that we only catch what is needed for the year ahead, and to pay our fishers fairly. Your membership gives you access to the highest quality, wild, sustainable seafood caught by small-scale independent fishing families while helping build a more just and equitable food system.

Convenient Pick-Up And Home Delivery

With more than 80 pick-up locations across Canada and home delivery in select cities throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, you'll find a convenient way to receive your seafood. Order from our online store, select how you wish to receive your seafood, and choose a date. Your bounty of wild seafood will then be shipped to your local Community Partner pick-up location for you to collect during the store's several-day pick-up window, or shipped directly to your door in insulated packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Once you become a member, you have access to “the Dock,” our online seafood store. Simply log in, choose from local pick-up or flash-frozen home delivery, and select a date that works for you. Order whatever seafood you like. If you selected local pick-up, we’ll send you a reminder once your order is ready to be collected from your Community Partner pick-up location. And if you placed an order for home delivery, we’ll send you updates with your estimated delivery time and tracking information.

At our False Creek Fishermen’s Wharf headquarters in Vancouver, members also have the option to shop without a pre-order during our Thursday pickups between 3:00 and 7:00 pm.

We primarily carry fillets and portion sizes that make meal prep easy. Most of our seafood is flash-frozen, which keeps it at peak quality and makes it convenient to always have on hand. The majority of our portion sizes are roughly 1 lb (454g), but we also carry a selection of member favourites in the ½ lb (227g) range. We also offer whole frozen salmon, various frozen shellfish options, smoked salmon varieties, and canned seafood (and kelp!), too. At our False Creek Fishermen’s Wharf location in Vancouver, we offer live mussels most of the year, as well as live oysters and live Dungeness crabs on occasion. Visit our products page for more details.

Our Community Partners' pick-up locations are values-aligned stores that volunteer to distribute members’ orders. In Metro Vancouver, we have more than 35 locations across the Lower Mainland with pick-ups every week. We also have more than 45 Community Partners in towns and cities across the rest of Canada. When it’s time to pick up your order, you have the flexibility to come into the store anytime over the course of several days during the store’s regular hours. You can find the location nearest to you and view the pick-up frequency schedule on our locations page

Prefer not to pick up from a local Community Partner or don’t have a location nearby? Home delivery is available in select regions across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec.

Your prepaid share goes directly into your online account as a credit for you to spend on delicious seafood. Deciding what size share suits you will depend on how many people are in your household, how often you expect to eat seafood, and how late in the calendar year you are signing up.

We provide a share size calculator with suggested amounts based on our best value products. For example, we recommend the following starting share sizes if you eat seafood once a week:

  • Single: $400
  • Couple: $700
  • Family of 4: $1300

Don’t stress about this in your first year with us. Start at whatever amount you are comfortable with while knowing you can top up your credit balance if needed.
