Gindara is a partnership for community. The Kyuquot/Checleset First Nation granted permission to operate in its territory 20 years ago. Recognizing and ensuring the environmental stewardship of its territory, Gindara has become the largest employer in the Kyuquot/Checleset community. Not just providing a job, but an opportunity for the future of its people, within their traditional territory.
Cultured on the West Coast of Canada, Gindara's pristine ocean currents are not influenced by the use of antibiotics or other chemicals. Gindara Sablefish is native to its environment and live in very low densities in harmony with nature, not bringing excess or pressure to its balance.
Gindara is 20 years of passion for Sablefish in the environment. Gindara Sablefish prefer to spend their lives in deepwater, away from parasites like sea-lice. Deep fjords provide powerful currents to exchange nutrients and oxygen. Egg to plate traceability ensure Gindara Sablefish adheres to the Green Rated production methods of the Seafood Watch program for sustainable seafood.

Eel is best cooked if it is already skinned, gutted or butterflied, and cut into small chunks. Eel should not be eaten raw and is best served with an acidic sauce (using lemon, vinegar, capers, or tomatoes) to counter the rich meat.

The term "Wild Shellfish" often brings the vision of Barnacles, Rocks, Seagrass, and other inconveniences. Meet our new Wild Mussel, the Black Gold from Chatham. They are indeed wild, but differ in two extra steps they go through before arriving to you. After harvest they are purged and de-bearded so they are ready to cook, upon delivery. The flavor is sweet and vegetal with a pillow soft texture. The complex ocean flavor lingers for some time. If it has to be great, and it has to be ready to rock, and it has to be wild... Black Gold!
Claw meat is obviously taken from claws but also includes leg meat. It is the cheapest because the meat is small and has the least integrity. Special crabmeat is meat taken from front of the body. Again, a little bigger, more integrity. Jumbo Lump crab meat is from the back of the body. It has the most integrity and is the largest meat on the crab due to propelling those powerful swimming fins. Finally, Backfin meat is essentially broken pieces of Jumbo Lump crab.
