Macgregors Seafood Notes

Fish and shellfish offer the restaurant chef an opportunity for diversity, excitement and differentiation. At macgregors, this is our passion. We have positioned ourselves as the foremost progressive seafood supplier in the marketplace. We not only offer an absolutely unique and comprehensive selection of fish & shellfish from around the globe, but we also pride ourselves in being the ultimate seafood resource and promoting progressive, sustainably minded fisheries and aquaculturists.

Our passion for fish & shellfish means that we invest our resources in finding new, regional, seasonal and unique seafood from the world’s best suppliers. We’ve pioneered bringing unique chilled premium fish from Australian & New Zealand to Toronto, such as Petuna Tasmanian Ocean Trout, Bluenose Seabass and John Dory. We’ve introduced remarkable species from Hawaii such as Kona Kampachi, sustainably raised in the pristine waters off the Kona Coast – hatched, reared and harvested using state of the art aquaculture technology, without depleting wild fisheries or harming the ocean environment. We offer “Boutique” day-boat sea scallops from a single local boat in Boston. The scallops are wild harvested in the morning, hand shucked, sorted, packed and shipped same day. A truly unique and memorable scallop!

Salmon is a big part of our business and we have developed an unparalleled, exclusive 15 year relationship with one of the premier salmon suppliers in the world, Jail Island. Why do we believe so strongly in Jail Island? For one, Jail Island is raising indigenous Atlantic salmon in one of the most perfect areas of the world – the Bay of Fundy, fed by the cold Atlantic Ocean. They take a world leading integrated environmental, fish health and operational management approach to aquaculture. They are on the cutting edge of research and development, one of the first to develop integrated multi-trophic aquaculture where the culture of mussels and seaweeds on salmon sites are used as a way to minimize the environmental impact of the farm while producing additional high quality seafood products. You can trust you’re using the best, local Atlantic Canadian Salmon when you see the Jail Island brand.

We have a passion for seafood, and an enthusiasm to re-invent the role of the seafood supplier in Ontario. We stay on top of cutting edge seafood trends. We don’t offer “me-too” products. We offer resourcefulness, inventiveness, and originality. We aim to be a part of making your menu unique and giving your customers memorable seafood experiences.
