The pulse of Clearwater’s harvesting operations is the Fleet office located in historic Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada.
It is from here the harvesting operations of Clearwater’s 14-vessel, ‘state of the art’ fleet are planned, communicated and monitored.
In addition to Clearwater’s fleet which harvests clams, lobster, crab and scallops, Clearwater has 2 significant Joint Venture Partnerships involved in the harvesting of Argentine scallops - Glaciar Pesquera, S.A., and Canadian Coldwater (Frozen-at-Sea) prawns - Clearwater Ocean Prawns.
About Glaciar Pesquera S.A.
Glaciar Pesquera is a subsidiary of Clearwater Seafoods. Glaciar’s state of the art processing vessels harvest year-round making their delicately flavored scallops available throughout the year. After being harvested the scallops are frozen-at-sea, binding their natural moisture and locking in their natural sweet flavor. Research proves that scallops that are frozen-at-sea provide chefs and consumers with minimum shrinkage and maximum cook yield while protecting the natural delicious taste and superb eating experience of the scallop. The product is exported from Argentina to markets in both Europe and North America.
The Patagonian scallop (Zygochlamys patagonica), more commonly called Argentine scallops, are harvested wild from the Argentine Continental Shelf. Famous for their delicate natural sweet flavour, they are popular in a variety of hot and cold meal applications.
Our Argentinean partners at Glaciar Pesquera SA have received many awards and recognitions for their Corporate Social Responsibility Program, aimed at ultimately improving and benefiting the community: Presidential Award for best practices in Social Education (presented by the Argentine Government); the Social Entrepreneur Award (presented by the Social Ecumenical Forum); and the Corporate Citizenship Award (presented by the American Chamber of Commerce in Argentina).
About Clearwater Ocean Prawns Venture
Originating in 1991, Clearwater expanded this very successful joint venture in 2008 which is responsible for the harvesting and sales of 2000 metric tonnes of turbot and over 15,000 metric tonnes of Canadian coldwater prawns.
The Atlantic Enterprise was replaced in 2002 with a new vessel by the same name and today, along with the vessel Ocean Prawns, harvests the Canadian coldwater prawns, or Pandalus borealis, ‘shell-on’ and ‘frozen-at-sea’ for maximum ocean fresh flavour and texture..jpg)
The FAS prawns are sold through Ocean Seafood AS of Denmark.
