Founder’s Message
From Humble Beginnings to Today
Oceanfood Sales Ltd. was founded by John A. Graham in April 1970 as an import-export company. John’s goal was to provide the highest-quality seafood products to wholesale customers in Western Canada and Europe. The company’s initial imported products included Mrs. Friday’s breaded seafood line and frozen shrimp from Australia, Hong Kong, and Louisiana. Its exports were Canadian troll-caught frozen coho and sockeye salmon, shipped under the Nanuk brand to salmon smokers in France and Belgium.
In 1986, a Vancouver-based salmon smoking processing facility was established, marking the beginning of a journey into premium smoked salmon production.
Since then, Oceanfood Sales has grown successfully, with sales offices across Canada. Today, the company is owned by the second generation: Louise and Robert Graham, daughter and son of founders John and Shirley Graham.

Stewardship
Sustainably sourced, responsibly delivered
For us, stewardship means taking responsibility for the quality and safety of the seafood we bring to market, today and for generations to come.
From the beginning, we understood that providing seafood is more than sourcing great products, it is about earning trust. Every customer relies on us to deliver seafood that is safe, consistent, and of the highest quality.
That responsibility guides every decision we make. We work closely with trusted suppliers and partners, uphold rigorous standards, and remain committed to product integrity and responsible sourcing.
Our dedication to quality and food safety is reflected in certifications such as SQF and Kosher, providing confidence in every product we deliver.
