Canadian seafood exports thriving

The Federal Fisheries Department says $4.1 billion worth of Canadian seafood landed on tables in more than 100 countries last year, with lobster remaining the most valuable export.

Canada exported $41 million more in fish and seafood products in 2012, than the year before.
More than 60% of Canada’s seafood exports were shipped to the United States.
Aside from lobster, which accounted for $1 billion of last year’s overall seafood exports, the department says snow and queen crab, atlantic salmon and shrimp are among the country’s most valuable exports.
