Sustainability & Traceability

MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certification is still the recognised guideline to sustainable fish harvesting method. The transparency provided by chain of custody certification assures our products have been harvested from certified fisheries that embraces sustainability principles. Our fishermen recognise this important species sustainability certification. (Please refer to www.msc.org for more information)

Buying directly from the fisherman we maintain trip by trip landing records and have total traceability from the source to the customer. This information; Fishing gear method, FAO area, landing date; is normally made available in the product labeling process if requested.

Fishing Effort and Logistics

Doucet Fisheries Ltd has buyers that communicate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 Days a year with most of the independent fish harvesters. The gear types used are the otter trawl and long line. Our trucks are lined up waiting at the port of landing early (typically 4am to 6am) transported to the Doucet Fisheries processing facility in Comeaauville, Nova Scotia. The fish is usually converted (processed) to fresh boneless fillets and shipped the same day to our customers in the fresh state. We do also have frozen premium chemical free products graded and packaged to customer specifications.
