About Smokey Bay Seafood Group

About Smokey Bay Seafood Group

We began with a passion for farming shellfish and has grown into a global business in seafood trading and logistics, serving domestic and export markets.

Founded in 1998, Smokey Bay operates as a North American enterprise with offices in British Columbia, Canada, and Washington State, USA. Our specialized team brings over 60 years of combined experience, excelling in sourcing and trading seafood from rural origins to urban markets.

Every shipment tells a story. Wild and farmed seafood comes from remote regions and travels through a complex network to reach global urban centers. Each step relies on collaboration and dedication, therefore we partner with fishermen, farmers, processors, freight providers, regulators, and sustainability experts to fulfill our commitments to suppliers and customers efficiently.

Smokey Bay Seafood Group actively contributes to this dynamic supply chain, supporting livelihoods across the industry—from harvesters to chefs.

In 2023, we marked 25 years of success. Over the decades, we have built up our expertise in exporting live and fresh shellfish, creating extensive distribution channels across Asia, Europe, and North America, and reaching over a dozen countries.

OUR MISSION

Smokey Bay is committed to being a sustainable trading company by purchasing on demand and minimizing waste through careful inventory management. We source exclusively from responsible fisheries that prioritize environmental stewardship and ethical practices. Our operations adhere to the highest global standards of safety and sustainability, ensuring that every step of our supply chain supports the health of marine ecosystems and the well-being of local fishing communities. Through these efforts, we aim to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable seafood industry for future generations.

OUR VISION

Our goal is to be the premier seafood trading hub, delivering quality products and services while prioritizing animal health, food safety, and resource sustainability. We strive to provide clients with the confidence to serve ethically sourced seafood, ensuring a positive impact on both the environment and the industry.
