Canadian based 46° South Fish Co. Ltd., is a seafood importer and distributor that specializes in bringing fresh New Zealand seafood to Canadian customers. With an emphasis on sustainable fishing, 46° South works tirelessly to promote and market seafood that is responsibly caught and farmed. Leveraging their experience and relationships in New Zealand, 46° South is constantly up-to-date with quality products, as well as new and unique seafood as it becomes available.

The cold rough waters of the Southern Ocean create an extremely favorable growing environment, producing larger species renowned for their superior flavor and texture. Much of New Zealand’s coastal land is home to heritage parks and forests. This isolated area with windswept coastline, snow capped mountains rising from the sea, and low-density population create the ideal habitat for fish breeding grounds. It is this pristine environment that produces the quality shellfish, bluenose and New Zealand Tai Snapper that 46° South Fish Co. is known for.

These wild waters are also home to the local fishermen who use their small boats and artisanal methods of fishing to bring their fresh catch home to the small seafood communities of New Zealand. These are the communities that 46° South Fish Co. closely works with to ensure that their last day’s catch is handled efficiently to meet the international seafood markets of North America.
