Herring

Delivering industry-superior value and taste is of greatest importance to Comeau’s Sea Foods – that’s why we adhere to stringent quality standards for each step in the herring harvesting process.

Comeau’s Sea Foods owns and operates three herring seiners equipped with modern cooling equipment to fast chill our catch. Three supplementary catchers also harvest herring on our behalf and adhere to strict company quality levels. Each catch is brought to shore in refrigerated sea water and undergoes same-day processing in one of our modern facilities nearby.

Together, several divisions of Comeau’s Sea Foods prepare a variety of herring products including herring roe, barrel-marinated products, frozen fillets, salt herring, frozen fillets for smoking, and fresh herring fillets for domestic markets.

Comeau’s Sea Foods’ Saulnierville plant, Sea Life Fisheries and Comeau & Saulnier divisions, produce frozen herring butterfly fillets and finest calibre herring roe popular around the world – our specialty fillets are exported widely in Europe, particularly in Germany, while our superior herring roe is enjoyed in Japan.

For its marinated herring products, Comeau’s Sea Foods’ own processing facility, Frankland Canning, intensify natural herring essence with flavours designed for the domestic market – house blend, white wine, dill, and barbeque. Other herring products include Bismark Rollmops, Bismark Fillets, salted dressed, lunch cuts, cocktail rollmops. Salted whole, hard and soft cured herring are also processed through Frankland Canning.

Comeau-brand products are well-recognized in both domestic and export markets including Asia, Europe and the United States. Flexibility in customer relations is key – our products may be valued to custom requirements and graded to a variety of specifications.
