our fishery

The inherent high quality of wild BC salmon begins with nature – in the sea – and is then maintained for customer satisfaction by the fishermen and processors who follow strict handling, grading, quality assurance and food safety practices.

Following generations of tradition, BC’s commercial fishermen harvest wild salmon with the greatest skill, pride and care by trolling, seining and gillnetting. Today’s fishermen also use electronic technology to help identify species of fish, and further ensure highly selective fishing practices and responsible resource management. They are recognized for continually striving to develop their harvest methods to not only ensure a consistent, top quality product for the customer, but also to ensure a healthy habitat and sustainable resource for everyone today and tomorrow.
