Values
Howe Sound Seafood was created around the idea of providing sustainably caught, healthy and traceable seafood to Canadians. The majority of the premium quality seafood that is caught off the BC coast is exported overseas. Meanwhile, most of the retail seafood that is available for purchase in BC is imported and is of a much lower quality than our local catch. Imported seafood products are often unsustainably caught, untraceable and from areas of the world with poor environmental regulations. Keeping locally caught Canadian seafood in Canada reduces the environmental footprint of the product and keeps British Columbians more in touch and engaged with our coastal environment. By selling the seafood that we catch ourselves we can guarantee our quality and provide a traceable product from the cold waters of the BC coast right to our customers.

Who We Are |
Howe Sound Seafood Products Inc. was established by Fraser MacDonald and Kathryn Robinson in 2011.

Our History |
Since establishing the company in 2011 we have been building towards our goal of keeping the majority of our catch in BC. In 2012 we bought our first vessel and after a long refit we launched the FV. Little Kathy, named after Kathryn Robinson. In March 2017, we expanded our fishing capabilities by purchasing the FV. Cold Fish, a 40ft fibreglass freezer troller. We look forward to continuing to build our fishing capacity and deepen our connections with our customers.
