Our Commitment to Sustainability
As a family business Codfathers has always been aware of the importance of conserving our amazing ocean resources and using them thoughtfully so that future generations can enjoy them too.
This concern culminated in our decision back in 2006 to become partners with Vancouver Aquarium's Ocean-wise program. After being accepted for the program, we were proud to be the first full-service fish market in Canada to embrace Ocean-Wise.
All seafood items in our store are clearly labeled with the Ocean-Wise logo if they are considered sustainable by Vancouver Auarium's team of biologists (the vast majority of our products are).
Also, for products where there are no Ocean-Wise alternatives we always source the most sustainable option that we can find. In addition we have committed to promoting and encouraging small artisanal fisheries, and wherever possible providing the names of the boats/fishers, the area where they are caught and the method of catch used, to our customers.
