Healthy Shores

Established in 1961, St. Jean’s Cannery & Smokehouse stands as one of the last remaining salmon and tuna canneries in Canada, dedicated to providing wild seafood to those who appreciate high-quality seafood. Beyond retail seafood products, the company offers custom sport fish processing for fishing lodges, charters, and individual fishers in British Columbia, along with commercial co-pack services for domestic and international producers. With a federally registered and inspected production facility, St. Jean’s produces under its own brands, including Raincoast Trading and Healthy Shores, as well as serving as a co-pack partner and private label brander. Their product range includes canned and retort pouch thermally-processed products, soups, jams, jellies, antipastos, marinades, sauces, dips, flavored mustards, dry spice blends, smoked and flavored seafood, custom seafood filleting and processing, as well as salsas, BBQ sauces, and vinaigrettes, with processes such as smoking, canning, hot fill, vacuum packaging, and cold fill. While they take on R&D projects on a limited basis, most co-pack customers have commercially-ready products with market traction. However, fresh product production is limited during the summer months due to space and timing constraints. St. Jean’s also offers private label services, collaborating with grocery chains, exporters, and commodity producers to develop unique offerings, with in-house graphic label design and flexible labeling and pack size options.
