Pêcherie Manicouagan owns several processing plants that prepare, transform, and packages fresh and frozen seafood. Fishing sites are never far from our processing plants, which greatly reduces the time between when the seafood is captured and processed. This goes a long way to maintaining the freshness of all of our products.
We also manage the entire supply chain, from the moment seafood is hauled onto the boats to the processing to final delivery, thereby ensuring unsurpassed levels of quality control.
Pêcherie Manicouagan also regularly updates and acquires the highest performance equipment available to maximize productivity and increase the quality of our products. All of our seafood and fish meet the highest international standards.
