$"$We provide our customers with high quality, straightfonard and sustainable fish products by working with all stakeholders. We take all the necessary steps to ensure that our customers are satisfied with our products and services. We also take pride in purchasing our products and materials directly from the most reputable suppliers and sustainable seafood sourcing.

Today the company owns a manufacturing plant in Vancouver and two distribution centers: one in Vancouver and another in the Calgary urban region.
