Who we are

An Ontario importer built on trust and traceability

Based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Fresh Water Foods Inc. brings the seafood of India's coastline to Canadian tables — from farm-raised Vannamei and wild Black Tiger shrimp to pomfret, snapper, seer fish, squid and cuttlefish.

We work directly with approved processing plants, specify every size and form ourselves, and manage the paperwork so our customers receive consistent product, on time, with documentation that clears without surprises.

  • Direct plant relationships — no middlemen, better pricing, full traceability.
  • Retail-ready packs — bilingual labels, nutrition facts and your brand if you want it.
  • Consistent specs — counts, glaze and net weights you can plan around.
Why Fresh Water Foods

Six reasons buyers stay with us

What matters when you buy frozen seafood by the container: quality that holds, supply that shows up, and paperwork that clears.

01

Premium quality

Every lot is graded for size, colour, glaze and net weight before it ships. If it does not meet spec, it does not leave the plant.

02

Traceable sourcing

We buy directly from approved processing plants on India's east and west coasts, with lot numbers, fishing zones and processor codes on every carton.

03

Diverse range

Shrimp, crab, squid, cuttlefish and 20+ fish species — whole, steaks, fillets and value-added forms, IQF or block frozen.

04

Custom packing

Retail packs from 400 g to 2 lb, 10 kg master cartons, and private-label artwork with bilingual English/French labelling.

05

Cold-chain integrity

Frozen within hours of harvest and held at -18 °C from the plant to reefer container to our Ontario cold storage.

06

Reliable supply

Container programs planned around your seasonality, with consistent sizes and pricing you can put on a shelf tag with confidence.
