Ocean's Flaked Light Tuna in Water

Ocean's is a prominent seafood brand primarily serving the Canadian market with a focus on sustainability and quality. The product shown is their Flaked Light Tuna (Skipjack) packed in water, which features the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification, indicating the fish is sourced from sustainable fisheries.

Originally founded in Canada, the brand has grown into a major player in the shelf-stable seafood category. Today, it is owned by Ocean Brands, which is a subsidiary of the Jim Pattison Group, a massive Canadian conglomerate. This ownership ensures that the brand remains under Canadian corporate stewardship.

While the brand is Canadian-owned and headquartered, the manufacturing and sourcing of the tuna take place in various locations globally, depending on the fishing season and facility availability. Common processing locations for Ocean's tuna include Thailand and Vietnam, where specialized canning facilities are located to process fish caught in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
