For more than 50 years, CFE Seafoods has met the discriminating needs - and tastes - of some of the top restauranteurs and seafood grocers in the world. From salting cod following the traditional dry-salting technique to grilled salmon on cedar planks, their long seafaring heritage is a part of every seafood product they offer.
"As a leader in the salted fish industry we believe in sustainability at every level - from how we source our products to our manufacturing process," stated Justin McAloon, Director of Operations and Compliance, CFE Seafoods. "Joining the Farm Powered Sustainability Heroes Program is a natural extension of our company's sustainability goals and we look forward to working with our peers in the food and beverage industry to do our part to help mitigate the climate crisis."
