Ucluelet Harbour Seafoods, a subsidiary of Pacific Seafood Group, has partnered with Sea Drift Fish Company in the opening of a groundfish processing operation in Ucluelet, British Columbia.
The new facility has been named Pacific Seafood Barkley Plant and is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island near Barkley Sound.
The plant will be equipped with advanced processing technology and cool chain security to ensure freshness, cleanliness and quality groundfish.
“The facility brings substantial QA/QC oversight, cold storage, cool handling, and third party inspections for guaranteed assurance. We believe this will not only be the nicest groundfish plant in Canada, but it will be the newest in BC and the only one that guarantees world-class APC traceability systems second to none,” said Tyson Yeck, general manager of the Pacific Seafood Canada operations.
The plant is also expected to bring 60-70 new jobs to the community.
