Founded in 1961 on Vancouver Island, St. Jean’s Cannery & Smokehouse began with Armand St. Jean smoking oysters in a backyard smokehouse before growing into one of BC’s last remaining commercial seafood canneries. Today, the company is majority owned by five Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations, continuing a long connection to BC’s coastal seafood traditions. Known for hand-packed canned seafood and traditional smoking methods, St. Jean’s has become a trusted name in West Coast seafood for over 60 years. At Country Grocer, we’re proud to carry products from St. Jean’s as part of our commitment to supporting local and Indigenous-owned producers.
