High Liner Frozen Fish

High Liner Foods is a leading producer of frozen value-added seafood in North America. The brand traces its roots back to 1899 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, where it originally started as W.C. Smith & Company. Over more than a century, it transitioned from a local salt fish operation to a powerhouse in the frozen food sector, eventually adopting the High Liner name which has become synonymous with quality frozen fish fillets, sticks, and portions.

While the brand maintains deep Canadian heritage, its manufacturing processes are distributed across North America. The company operates significant processing facilities in Canada (Lunenburg) and the United States (Newport News and Portsmouth). This dual-country manufacturing base allows them to efficiently serve both the retail and food service markets across the continent.

Today, High Liner Foods Inc. is a publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It remains an independent Canadian-headquartered entity, serving as the ultimate owner of its namesake brand as well as other well-known labels like Fisher Boy and Sea Cuisine. The company continues to focus on sustainable seafood sourcing and innovative frozen meal solutions as it moves toward 2026 and beyond.
