Clearwater Seafoods
Clearwater Seafoods, a well-established name in Canadian seafood, has long been recognised for its dedication to sustainably harvested products. Founded in 1976, the company has built a strong reputation, supplying high-quality seafood across North America, Asia, and Europe. Clearwater was acquired in 2021 by Premium Brands Holdings in partnership with a coalition of Indigenous communities, represented by the Mi’kmaq First Nations. This historic acquisition marked the first time an Indigenous group co-owned a major Canadian seafood company.
