Pentlatch Seafoods

Komo GwayPentlatch Seafoods, a shellfish aquaculture company wholly owned and operated by the K'ómoks First Nation, provides Thrifty Foods with exclusive access to the Komo Gway brand of traditionally harvested premium oysters and clams.

Traceable Seafood

Thrifty Foods has partnered with Vancouver-based non-profit Ecotrust Canada to launch Thisfish offering traceability of certain species of fish from shore to door. Thisfish tracks three fresh species (King Salmon, Halibut, Sablefish) and four frozen fin fish fillets (Sockeye Salmon, Halibut, Sablefish, and Albacore Tuna) from the moment they're caught to the moment they reach your shopping basket.

Type in your unique code attached to your fish and find out where that fish was caught, who caught it, and even the name of the boat. Even the captain's log is included! We look forward to expanding the list of fish species traceable through Thisfish in the days ahead.

Through the Coastal Waters line, we offer Ocean Wise-approved frozen Wild Pink Salmon (undressed), Wild Prink Salmon Maple Barbecue and Wild Prink Salmon Honey Chipotle portions, caught by hand and net in our very own Fraser River. This fishing technique makes little environmental impact and any animal by-catch (non-targeted fish species, caught accidentally) is immediately returned to the river.
