Most wholesale distributors treat seafood like logistics. The system works until it doesn’t—and when it fails, operators pay the price. A phone call in the morning, an order confirmed by noon, product delivered that doesn’t match what was promised.

Alden Foods works differently. For 31 years, we’ve built relationships with suppliers who share our refusal to compromise. Premium Canadian seafood that most wholesalers won’t carry because it requires more than transaction — it requires commitment.

Wild-caught salmon ikura from Pacific Canada. Freshwater caviar from pristine northern lakes. Walleye, whitefish, and lake trout from waters managed for sustainability, not just volume.

Fully traceable. Properly sourced. Delivered with the understanding that your operation doesn’t have margin for error.

SUSTAINABLY SOURCED

Certified. Traceable. Verified.

Third-party certifications aren’t marketing tools—they’re accountability. OceanWise, SeaChoice, and Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch evaluate fisheries based on environmental impact, management practices, and population health. When a product carries these certifications, it means independent experts verified the claims. When quotas are set by crown backed corporations like FFMC, it means harvest limits are designed to protect the resource, not maximize short-term profit. These standards exist because words like “sustainable” don’t mean much without someone checking the work.

  • Walleye Cheeks: The Cut Worth Seeking Out
    The first time you try walleye cheeks, you understand why chefs guard them. Small, tender, genuinely sweet—these are bites that rarely make it past the kitchen. Cooks eat them standing over prep stations, straight from the pan, because they’re too good to share. When they do make it to the…
  • Canadian Caviar: The Story Nobody’s Telling
    When most people hear “caviar,” they think Russia. Maybe Iran. Definitely China now, given that Zhejiang Province farms produce most of the world’s farmed sturgeon. Canada doesn’t usually make the list. But walk into the right kitchens—the ones paying attention to sourcing, sustainability, and products with stories worth telling—and you’ll…
  • Seasonal Availability: Canadian Freshwater Fish
    The yellow perch arrives in April, delicate and sweet from cold spring waters. By August, it’s gone—not because supply chains failed or distributors ran out, but because the season ended. The lake dictates the timeline, not the menu. That’s how freshwater fisheries work. Seasons matter. Water temperatures matter. Ice formation,…
