Exploring Our Indigenous Fisheries Network
At Authentic Indigenous Seafood, we proudly showcase a diverse network of Indigenous-owned fisheries across Canada’s coastal regions. Our collection reflects the rich maritime traditions of First Nations communities, each with sustainable fishing practices rooted in generations of stewardship.
From the Pacific Coast’s wild streams to the Arctic’s frozen waters, our fisheries embody resilience and cultural preservation. Each partner fishery shares a unique story of traditional knowledge and commitment to maintaining healthy marine ecosystems.
Below, you’ll find profiles of our Indigenous fishing communities, highlighting their regions, practices, and the exceptional seafood they sustainably harvest.

Each catch represents not just food but a testament to cultural heritage and environmental respect.
