Why Delta, BC Is a Good Place to Source Seafood From

Every order from Ocean2Table starts at the same place: Lions Gate Fisheries' operation in Delta, BC, where the company has been family owned and operated since 1938. That's not a marketing detail, it's the reason the sourcing behind this site works the way it does.

A working seafood hub, not a distribution center

Delta sits at the mouth of the Fraser River, on the BC coast, in a region that's been a working seafood and fishing hub for generations. LGF's location isn't incidental, it's positioned to serve the wholesale and export relationships the company has built across Vancouver, Delta, Tofino, Port Edward, the Lower Mainland, and Vancouver Island.

What "since 1938" actually means for sourcing

A company that's operated continuously in the same regional seafood network for nearly a century has relationships with fisheries and suppliers that a newer company simply hasn't had time to build. LGF describes sustainability and social responsibility as "a way of life" rather than a checkbox, and backs that with real, independently verified certifications: Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification, Ocean Wise Recommended status, Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification, and HACCP food safety certification, all confirmed on LGF's own site.

What this means for Ocean2Table specifically

Ocean2Table isn't a seafood company that sources from wherever's cheapest and resells it online. It's the direct-to-consumer arm of a wholesale supplier that already sells to distributors, restaurants, and retailers who depend on consistent quality, meaning the same sourcing standards that hold up for professional buyers are what's behind what goes home to your kitchen.
