Rich in tradition, PEI has a superior world-wide reputation for the quality and flavour of our cultured seafood products.
The cool fresh waters of PEI’s bays and estuaries provide optimal growing conditions for farmed blue mussels and farmed oysters. Our abundant supply of high-quality groundwater also allows for dynamic Rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon, and Atlantic halibut hatcheries, nurseries and production units to thrive in the global marketplace.
