Abstract: The market for seafood in Canada is dominated by American suppliers and market conditions but is expanding, creating opportunities for new suppliers. The retail and food service market segments for fish products in Canada are reviewed and basic market entry strategies are provided. Imports from South Pacific Forum island countries in the past have not been significant but demand in Canada for fresh and frozen tuna is increasing. The potential for smoked fish and tuna products is more limited. Canadian prices and standards are reasonable and potential markets for Pacific island seafood exporters exist in Vancouver and Toronto. The single biggest constraint for Pacific island suppliers appears to be inadequate air freight services out of their region.
