Behind-The-Scenes of Ontario Fish

Описание: It's a 12 hour day for these Lake Ontario fishermen, who are up at 2 or 3 in the morning to cast their nets.
Presteve Foods makes a wide variety of fresh fish found in the Great Lakes available to your family. Types of fish harvested daily range from the familiar perch and pickerel to the less well-known white fish, lake smelt, white bass and white perch.
Ulysses Pratas, Presteve Foods
We are a vertically integrated, fresh water fish company. What that means is that we actually catch the fish, process the fish, sell the fish and distribute the fish.
Narrator:
Their harvest is in the neighbourhood of 10-to-11 million pounds of fish each year. It's a sustainable approach that is provincially monitored.
Ulysses Pratas, Presteve Foods
I think the opportunity that the Great Lakes give us to the Ontario and the national market is such that it's basically a local product. I have a lot of pride when I walk into a supermarket in Canada and we see yellow perch and pickerel that are produced in Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Superior.
