Port Hardy Local Fish

we were in port hardy and coal harbour looking for fresh fish - nothing. We were told to go to this place https://www.scarletpointseafoods.ca/ I asked them when I was there - where do you get your fish from. Alaska they said. We can't sell the local fish here they stated.

As a polite Canadian I don’t want to accuse you of anything. So I’ll just point out the discrepancy between what you report and what their website says.

About Us

All our fish is sourced from fisheries that meet internationally recognized Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) environmental standards for sustainable fishing MSC-C-51176. All our fish can be traced back to the catching vessel, date and area caught.

At Scarlet Point Seafoods Ltd. we only harvest and buy seafood from legal fisheries in Canada.

Scarlet Point Seafoods is committed to working with fisheries management agencies, local communities, First Nations, environmental groups, and other stakeholders to ensure effective resource management systems are implemented that promote sustainable harvest of marine resources and maintenance of healthy ecosystems.

That seems pretty unambiguous and consistent with what residents of Vancouver Island on this board report.
