Ocean Choice International
We are global leaders in seafood sustainability and quality assurance initiatives and are known as innovators in the business, having been in many cases the first to introduce new ideas and technology to the industry. We deliver over 100 million pounds of finished products to more than 30 countries every year. A fully vertically integrated company, OCI is one of the largest seafood quota holders in the country and offers the widest variety of species to our customers, including snow crab, lobster, coldwater shrimp, scallops, Atlantic cod, flounder & sole, redfish, Greenland halibut, mackerel and capelin. We support the certification of our fisheries by accredited agencies, including the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). More than two-thirds of Ocean Choice’s substantial quota and raw material base will soon be under the globally recognized MSC list of sustainable fisheries. We have the largest volume of MSC certified seafood in Canada.
