A Canadian Legacy Since 1961
St. Jean’s Cannery & Smokehouse
Family-founded, Indigenous-owned, and proudly Canadian. For over 60 years, we’ve hand-crafted smoked and canned seafood on Vancouver Island—sharing the flavours of the Pacific with homes across Canada and beyond.
B.C.'s Last Remaining Seafood Cannery
At St. Jean’s, we’re more than a cannery. We’re one of the last remaining commercial canneries in British Columbia, a third-generation family business, and a proud partner of the Nuu-chah-nulth people. Our craft blends traditional hardwood smoking, hand-packing, and modern quality standards to deliver the best of the West Coast—straight to your table.
