Clearwater Seafoods Inc. is a Canadian-based seafood company specializing in the harvesting, processing and distribution of premium wild shellfish. Headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Clearwater operates a fleet of fishing vessels and a network of processing facilities across Atlantic Canada and the Northeastern United States. The company’s product portfolio includes scallops, cold‐water shrimp, lobster, crab and whelk, all sourced from sustainably managed fisheries.
In its harvesting segment, Clearwater leverages its owned and chartered vessels to maintain control over catch volume and quality. Processed at purpose‐built plants, shellfish products are value‐added and packaged under strict quality and traceability standards. The company supplies a range of foodservice and retail customers, from fine‐dining restaurants to major grocery chains and distributors, tailoring packaging and portioning to meet diverse market requirements.
Clearwater’s global distribution network reaches more than 50 countries, with significant export markets in North America, Europe and Asia. The company partners with international logistics providers to ensure cold‐chain integrity and timely delivery. Emphasis on product innovation and customer service has enabled Clearwater to expand its footprint in high‐growth markets, particularly in East Asia and the European Union, where demand for sustainably sourced shellfish continues to rise.
Founded in 1976, Clearwater has a longstanding reputation for innovation in shellfish harvesting and traceability systems. In 2018, ownership transitioned to a consortium of Mi’kmaq First Nations, reflecting a commitment to Indigenous partnership and community development. Today, Clearwater is governed by a board of directors and led by an experienced senior management team focused on operational excellence, sustainability certification and long-term value creation for all stakeholders.
