February, 2024

Exciting news (at least for us!). We now have a new delivery vehicle. Our bigger E250 van will be now only be used for freight work for fishermen in the crab and dive fisheries. For our smaller food service and grocery deliveries we have purchased this economical small Ford Connect van which gets our orders down to 8 degrees C in just a few minutes. We offer free delivery from Victoria to Campbell River and throughout the lower mainland.

Dungeness Crab

The crab price has eased lately as demand from the Far East remains chaotic due to ongoing economic issues in China. Additionally there has been an influx of US Coastal crab into the Vancouver market. We are offering competitive quotes so give us a call to discuss your needs. Catch rates around southern Vancouver Island have been very slow which is fairly typical for this time of year.

Atlantic Lobster

Lobster prices are up there at the moment. The winter season in LFAs 33/34 is seeing some poor catch rates, especially in LFA 34. As a subsequent result lobster are about as expensive as we’ve ever seen them. We’ve been suggesting to our customers that they concentrate on Dungeness crab which are a real bargain by comparison. despite the challenges, we always have Atlantic lobster in stock for those who have to have a lobster feast.
