Goldwater Seafoods is proud to offer the highest quality haddock caught using only traditional hook and line, from independent fishers along the south shore of Nova Scotia. We purchase only fish which are properly handled the moment it is removed from the hook. Our goal is to maintain that perfect quality from hook to your table. To accomplish this, fish are removed by hand into a slush tank. Slush is a mixture of seawater and ice. This prolongs the breakdown of protein and maintains that fresh caught flavour. Fish remain in slush until hand cut into fillets. Fishing vessels employed for this method make day trips (maximum 2 days) in order to maximize conditions for handling this slushed product. Once filleted, we do our utmost to deliver the product to your business or home within 24 hours. This product is so fresh, we believe a 5 day refrigerated shelf life is entirely possible.

Not only can we provide the best fresh haddock product available, but Goldwater promotes stewardship practices essential for a thriving fishery. Purchasing locally caught and processed fish are also important values inherent in our company policy.
