The Story

Why Our JapanFish Express Is Different

Here's how it works: fish is auctioned at Toyosu Market in the early morning hours. Our buyers select the finest specimens, which are immediately processed, packed in temperature-controlled containers, and loaded onto the next available flight to Canada.

Upon arrival, products are transferred to our refrigerated fleet and delivered directly to your door. The entire journey, from ocean to your kitchen, takes less than 48 hours. No other distributor in Canada can match this speed.
