History
Doucet Fisheries Ltd was incorporated by George Doucet in 1978, although George had run a small fish filleting enterprise in Weymouth, Nova Scotia since 1955. His son Michel Doucet, now owner of Doucet Fisheries Ltd grew up on the wharves of Southwest Nova Scotia working alongside his father who retired in 1984. In the spring of that year, Michel graduated from Moncton University with a Business Degree and returned home to work at the business full time. In the fall of 2008 the processing was moved to a new facility located in Comeauville, Nova Scotia. Thirty employees work almost full time, contributing to provide top quality haddock, cod, flounder and ocean perch fillets to long-time and new customers of Doucet Fisheries Ltd.
Doucet Fisheries Ltd. cod catches come straight from southern Nova Scotia and Georges Bank. Cod is a lean fish that flakes into large pieces and has a sweet flavour. Atlantic cod is available year round, fresh or frozen.
With its blazing colors ranging from orange to red flame, ocean perch is frequently found in deep waters along the borders of major fishing banks of the Atlantic. When cut into filets, its flesh is firm, white and thin and very easy to digest. Ocean perch is delicious raw, smoked or even cold. Also known as Red Snapper, ocean perch is delicious in soups and chowders.
Winter Flounder, also known as black back, is a flat, bizarre-looking yet delicious fish. It has an olive-brown colour with rust-coloured markings. Once cooked, its boneless flesh is white on the belly side and slightly darker on the back, lean, flaky and sweet. Flounder is sold fresh or frozen. Aside from being rich in protein, flounder is also rich in vitamins and minerals, and low in fat. This hardy fish also has a great shelf life
