Pacific Provider Salmon: CCFCC 2011 Sponsor

The Pacific Provider is a 43-foot fishing boat, owned and operated by a North Vancouver fishing family and their staff. Between late spring and early fall each year, the Pacific Provider travels through the cold, clean waters around the Queen Charlotte Islands in search of the best catch, using only the most sustainable fishing methods.

Pacific Provider is Ocean Wise Certified, and devoted to small scale production of only the highest quality products. Sustainable fishing means trolling with a barbless hook and line designed specifically for Coho Salmon, eliminating the risk of endangering other fish, birds, and marine mammals. The trolling method also eliminates the risk of damaging the ocean floor. Pacific Provider’s fish are processed at sea: gutted, cleaned and flash frozen in a glaze of clean ocean water to ensure that the fish will remain at the peak of freshness until they arrive on consumers’ tables.

The result of Pacific Provider’s careful attention to detail is some of the best salmon out there—BC Coho Salmon that is rich, full-flavoured, firm, and lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than many other varieties of salmon.

The CCFCC would like to thank Pacific Provider for sharing their product at the National Conference in Vancouver this year!
