Know More About the Seafood You Bring Home
We see salmon, prawns, and sablefish—but there is a much bigger story behind what ends up on our plates.
Built by Commercial Fishermen
Long before there were multiple Fisherman’s Market locations, an online seafood store or thousands of customers across British Columbia, there were fishermen working on the coast.
Fisherman’s Market was founded by commercial fishermen.
Meet the People Behind the Catch
Canadian seafood is connected to fishermen, boats, fishing families, processors, producers and Canadian companies from coast to coast.
For Geoff Austin, commercial fishing didn't begin with Fisherman’s Market — and it didn't end when our doors opened.
Today, one of our founders is back on the water aboard the FV Kiusta, trolling the BC coast for wild Pacific salmon.
When we tell you some of our Canadian salmon comes from the Kiusta, this isn't a fishing story we borrowed for a marketing campaign. It's our own.
Along Atlantic Canada's coast, lobster is more than a premium seafood.
It's part of the working life of generations of Canadian fishing families and coastal communities.
Based in Wallace, Nova Scotia, Aquashell helps connect Canadian lobster and the people behind the fishery with seafood customers across Canada — including our customers here in British Columbia.
Barry Group Inc.
For the Barry family, seafood isn't an industry they simply entered.
It's an industry their family has been part of for generations.
Their Canadian fishing roots reach back to salt-fish schooners working coastal Labrador in the 1800s. Four generations later, Barry Group remains part of Newfoundland and Labrador's fishing and seafood industry.
That's the kind of Canadian seafood story Caught Here. Bought Here. was built to tell.
The four-generation history and Newfoundland connection come directly from the full Barry Group story.
