John West Herring Fillets

John West is a heritage seafood brand originating in the United Kingdom, founded in 1857 by T.L. Pelling and C.H. Stanley under the name Pelling Stanley & Co., initially importing canned salmon bearing the John West label. Over decades of commercial growth, the brand established itself as a leading supplier of canned fish, including tuna, salmon, mackerel, and herring.

Today, John West is a wholly owned subsidiary of Thai Union Group, a global seafood conglomerate based in Samut Sakhon, Thailand, which acquired the brand through its European seafood business. The specific product shown is manufactured in Poland, as designated by the veterinary identification mark (PL 22121811 WE), which corresponds to specialized canned fish processing facilities in the country serving international markets.
