Your fish experts display
Our experts at Pêcheries Atlantiques, a division of METRO and the
biggest purveyor of fish and shellfish in Quebec, travel the world
to bring you the best variety, highest quality and the freshest
fish and shellfish, guaranteed.
Certain products are seasonal while others are available year round but one certainty remains; because of the dedication of our buyers and the constant replenishment of our stocks, you can be sure that our products are always as fresh as they get.
To appreciate fish, you must respect certain criteria when buying. The fish should always have a very subtle yet pleasant odor, its skin should always be lustrous and firm, its scales tight on the skin, its eyes clear, shiny and convex and its gills bright red.
For maximum freshness, always cook fish as soon as possible after purchase as they will not keep more than one or two days in the fridge.
When storing fish, you should always remove the original package, wrap the fish in waxed paper and place it in an air-tight container in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
