Custom Sport Processing
June, 2021: we are accepting sport fish for processing and will continue to do so throughout the summer season. Please visit any of the drop-off locations listed below. Thank you for your support!
Whether you are fishing at a lodge, on your own, or with a guide, getting your fish to St. Jean’s is a straightforward process.
- Lodges: If you are fishing at a lodge, just ask the staff about sending your catch to St. Jean’s Cannery and they will fill you in on shipping and processing details. We have agreements in place with virtually every lodge on the West Coast, so it doesn’t matter if you are fishing in Haida Gwaii, Rivers Inlet, Port Alberni, or Campbell River–getting your fish to us is easy.
- Depots: There are many depots on the West Coast where you can drop your fish off for us in addition to our stores in Nanaimo, Delta/Tilbury, Port Alberni, Campbell River, and Richmond (YVR Airport). Simply drop off your fish at the depot and we will arrange transport to our facility. As well, we can ship your finished product back to a number of these depots for your convenient pickup. There is no extra charge for dropping or picking up at a depot on Vancouver Island or the Lower Mainland (Greater Vancouver). No other processor can offer you this convenience!
