Once you become a member you have access to “the Dock,” our online seafood store. Simply log in, and choose a pick-up location and a pick-up date window that works for you. Order whatever seafood you like. Once your order is ready, we’ll remind you to visit our Community Partner pick-up location anytime over a few days to get your order.

At our home location at False Creek Fishermen’s Wharf in Vancouver, members also have the option to shop without a pre-order during our Thursday pick-ups between 3 -7 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 product page for more details.

Our current prices can be found on each product page. Note that prices do fluctuate occasionally but we aim to keep prices as stable as possible since our seafood is flash-frozen and less affected by short-term market price changes. Because we source all our seafood directly from fishing families, we are able to cut out many extra costs that exist in the industrial supply chain. This allows us to offer competitive prices for our members while paying fair wages to our fishers.

Our Community Partners pick-up locations are values-aligned stores who 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 60 Community Partners in towns and cities across the rest of Canada. When it is 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.

Your pre-paid share goes directly into your online account as 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.
