What makes Canadian hard shell lobster exceptional?
We export premium quality, live Canadian lobster around the world. Discerning clients love Canadian hard shell lobster. It’s easy to see why.
For lobster lovers, our product is unlike anything they’ve ever tasted. Canadian hard shell lobster, harvested sustainably from Nova Scotia waters, is a cut above.
Our coastal waters in the Canadian North Atlantic are cold, and pristine by any standard. The result? Canadian fully-meated lobsters are sustainable, traceable and bursting with flavour — a delicacy and a treat. Considered ‘celebration food’ the world over, lobster is enjoyed on special occasions in particular.
Consider the Source
R.I. Smith Lobster is located in the heart of southwest Nova Scotia; the most lucrative lobster fishing region in Canada. Our region produces approximately 40% of the annual Canadian catch.
We have local lobster supply relationships going back an astonishing 8 decades. Forgive us for saying so, but we’d like to think we helped write the book on industry knowledge.
Premium quality; decades of experience
We believe in the long-term and we believe in premium quality more than anything. We support the local lobster fishery, which has been the backbone of the regional economy. Ours is a story of steady progress in partnership with local harvesters and loyal suppliers.
We invite you to become a part of that story, as one of our valued customers.
