Our story

Bob Fraumeni, Founder

Bob Fraumeni Spent Hours Fishing in Gonzales Bay as a Child.

His Love of the Ocean (and Delicious Wild-Caught Fish) is the Foundation of Finest At Sea

Finest At Sea is the only BC-owned and operated fishery and processing plant on the West Coast. It all started when Bob bought his first boat and started selling wild-caught seafood out of a garage in 1977. Bob's vision for bringing delicious, sustainably sourced local seafood to his friend's plates has driven this company forward ever since.

Why 'Frozen At Sea' Is Best

Frozen at sea process

Quality Seafood Is Our Top Priority. That's Why We Flash Freeze Your Fish While We're Still On The Water.

Our founder, Bob, created a system to freeze fish solid within an hour of being caught and now every boat in our fleet is equipped with customized freezing systems. Fast freezing leads to smaller ice crystal formation, leaving the quality of your seafood pristine and delicious.

The entire ecosystem — from seafood to people

There's A West Coast Seafood Ecology That Connects People, Fish, And The Ocean

We've been buying handmade traps from a West Coast company for 40+ years. We partner with owner-operated fishing vessels to catch your seafood. We're all connected in our work to keep BC-owned and operated fishing and processing accessible and thriving.

Truly sustainable fishing practices mean keeping every part of the ecosystem in mind — including those on the shore.
