Your Catch

After an exciting day of fishing, all of the cleaning and flash freezing of your fish is fully taken care of by our expert team of fish processors.

The cleaning and preparing of your catch will be handled in preparation for storage or shipping. You can bring your own 100 quart (or larger) cooler, or you can buy an insulated shipping container from the WCWR Store. These containers are allowed on most airlines.

Our shipping containers can hold up to 50 pounds of fish, so you can check it with your luggage for the flight home. If your travel plans include additional nights at a hotel before returning home, we recommend that you ask about storage for your fish cooler when you make your hotel reservations.

Cutting, Vacuum Packaging & Fast Freezing

WCWR now offers in-house custom cutting, vacuum packaging and fast freezing of your catch. This same day service makes transport easy and saves you the hassle of having to do the work when you get your catch back home; our top quality catch care service keeps your fish tasting “just caught fresh” all winter long.

For guests wanting to have their fish canned or smoked, St. Jean’s Cannery offers a great service and can be found right here on Vancouver Island, with additional locations close to the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) in Richmond, BC.
