About:
Originally founded by Fogo Islander Anthony Cobb and his wife, Janice Thomson, Fogo Island Fish is a Shorefast social business dedicated to strengthening the cultural heritage, supporting ecological sustainability, and investing in the economic well-being of Fogo Island.
Fogo Island Fish works directly with a small number of local fishers who fish daily using traditional catch methods of one hook, one fish that results in a higher-quality product, with minimal bycatch. Their cod fishers receive higher compensation for their catch, and they work directly with the Fogo Island Co-operative Society Ltd.—a community-owned enterprise located in Fogo, Little Seldom and Joe Batt's Arm—to catch and process a variety of their seafood products.
Currently most domestic seafood is exported. Buying Canadian in Canada lightens the carbon footprint of the fish on your plate. Fogo Island Fish brings the best of their North Atlantic bounty to be enjoyed by restaurant clientele and home cooks across Canada.

Fogo Island's cod is hand lined, in the coldest waters in the North Atlantic, off Fogo Island, in the Labrador Current. They have zero by-catch and bleed their fish immediately after catching it to ensure the highest quality of cod in the marketplace. Focused on ethical fishing methods, they have a commitment to providing the highest quality fish, setting a benchmark for everyone around them. The cod is caught in day boats, within five miles of land and brought to the wharf within hours of being caught. They then flash freeze the fish at the peak of freshness, so when you thaw the fish, using our thawing instructions you are on day one of freshness. The difference in practices is what makes Fogo Island fish the best local fish around!
