Whether customers are looking for wild or farmed, seafood or freshwater fish, crustaceans, mollusks or finfish, Canada supplies products to meet every taste and budget. Bounded on three sides by oceans — the Pacific, the Arctic and the Atlantic — and home to the largest number of freshwater lakes in the world, Canada has the variety and quality of fish and seafood products consumers will appreciate. Our clean, cold waters contain more than 160 species of fish and shellfish, and we export fresh, frozen, smoked and canned seafood products all over the world.
Our fishing tradition goes back more than four centuries, but weʼre always looking to the future too. Thatʼs why Canadian seafood companies are constantly working to improve the quality of their products. For example: freezing-at-sea technology is used in the offshore shrimp fishery to preserve the catch as soon as it comes aboard. An individual quota system allows species such as halibut, sablefish and geoduck to be harvested to meet market demand, thus ensuring top quality and just-out-of-the-ocean freshness. And, new hyperbaric chamber technology is used to remove lobster shells so that the meat remains whole and ready for use.
Ukrainian consumers strongly appreciate the variety and quality of Canadian fish products, making Ukraine the third largest export market by volume for Canadian fish and seafood. Our top exports to Ukraine include frozen hake, cold-water shrimp, capelin, pollock, ocean perch, frozen and live lobster. When buying Canadian seafood, customers can be confident they are getting a fresh, nutritious product equally good for home meals and exquisite restaurant dining.
