Canadian Seafood,
Sustainably Caught.

Our commitment to transparency and sustainability means you choose from a wide selection of seafood from Canadian waters and know who caught your seafood, when, where, and how.

Our Products

  • Salmon

    We catch all five Pacific salmon species: sockeye, chinook, coho, chum and pink salmon. Our salmon is available in a variety of options, including sushi-grade frozen fillets, cold-smoked lox, candied nuggets, canned salmon, and more.

  • White fish

    Our assortment of halibut, sablefish, lingcod and rockfish offers variety for our members. They are available in frozen fillets.

  • Tuna

    Our frozen-at-sea albacore tuna is available in sushi-grade loins, cold-smoked lox, and canned options.

  • Arctic Char

    We offer wild arctic char from the frozen arctic lakes of Nunavut. These salmon-sized fish are caught by Inuit fishers drilling holes into the ice to extend a gillnet by hand.

  • Shellfish

    We carry an array of shellfish, including frozen-at-sea pink and spiny scallops in the shell, spot prawn tails, and pacific oysters. We also have fresh live offerings such as mussels, beach oysters, and Dungeness crab at Fisherman's Wharf in Vancouver.

  • Kelp

    Our assortment of kelp products range from giant kelp to kombu, wakame, and dulce. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

The Truth About Frozen Seafood

It is a common belief that “fresh, never frozen” seafood is the best. That’s a myth. When seafood is flash frozen at its peak freshness, it will taste the way nature intended. It's far better quality than so-called fresh fish that's spent days or weeks traveling the industrial supply chain to get to your plate.

    "We didn’t have a lot of experience with seafood, living in the land-locked prairies. One of our new staple meals has become poke bowls. It’s nice to know where everything in that bowl comes from, and that all of it is good for us, especially the albacore tuna!"

    "There is nothing like receiving fresh, wild salmon to enjoy at home, knowing it's been caught locally and with care. Having enjoyed recreational fishing during the summers, I always appreciate what goes into getting a good catch!"

    "I learned of Skipper Otto while visiting Vancouver in the spring. We have been involved with Community Supported Agriculture, so making the leap to Community Supported Fisheries was an easy 'leap' to make. We appreciate your work and love your fish. You can appreciate that fine fresh fish is hard to find in Alberta!"
