Seamount Marine Ltd.

Seamount Marine opened its doors in spring 2015 to provide sustainable and environmentally fishing practices and fish species.The fast growing company is based on 15 years of commercial fishing experience from fish farming, aquaculture, dive fishing, hook and line and trap fishing. Fish varieties currently harvested include black cod, sole, ling cod and rough eye quillback. More will be available as the company expands. Seamount’s aim is to be proactive for the environment in fishing practices. These practices demonstrate how fish quality goes up more with environmentally sound practices and humane euthanasia. Humane euthanasia involves putting a spike through the brain stem which causes instant death. This prevents lactic acid from going into the tissue which affects the quality and flavor of fish. Fish harvested by these methods provide a much higher quality of flavor compared to fish harvested by traditional commercial methods. These humane practices can only be used on larger fish such as cod. Harvested fish is frozen at sea (FAS) to -50 which provides a higher quality of fish. This is also sashimi grade fish that is sold to international markets. International markets currently utilized include China and Japan, and more markets are being explored. Seamount respects food that comes from the ocean and as a result is exploring geotagging options. Geotagging fish for consumers allows the end user to know where and how fish is caught for healthier eating.
