Operating out of Fisherman's Wharf, False Creek and the fishing docks in Steveston, BC Organic Ocean is a direct from the source supplier that primarily offers Pacific Northwest seafood caught from either their own fleet or partner vessels.
They sell to many high-end restaurants within North America and Asia, either direct or through a small premium distributor network.
Sparked by the pandemic in April 2020, Organic Ocean launched their online “Organic Ocean at Home” program delivering fresh seafood to homes in and around the Greater Vancouver Area.
In early 2021, they extended their reach to include Quebec and every province west of Quebec through the launch of an overnight / next day delivery service - providing seafood lovers across the country with access to the same great fish that has been largely exclusive to those who live on the west coast.
