Boreal Trade summary
Howard's Cove Shellfish Ltd. is a raw molluscan shellfish processor in Freeland, Prince Edward Island.
Its products include soft shell clams, clams, bay and ocean quahogs, and oysters. Smelt is also on its product list.
The company began operating in 1993, working out of a former seafood company's premises in Cape Wolfe.
It opened its own processing plant in Freeland in 1998. A large addition was built onto that plant in 2004.
The Province of Prince Edward Island's seafood directory lists the company's brands as Cooke's Cove, North Point, Indian Creek and Cavendish Cups.
Randy Cooke is named as the contact and as the manager of the business.
PEI's Canada's Food Island export catalogue says it distributes finished product to the Canadian and United States markets. Other export markets are not established.
It suits buyers looking for fresh or live PEI clams, quahogs and oysters from a single processor, including smelt in the same order.

Approval means the destination authority has listed the establishment. It does not tell you whether the company is currently shipping.
Canada publishes an approved-establishment list for Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, and none for Thailand or the Philippines, so those two read "not yet verified" for every company.
Elsewhere it means we have not found the company on that market's list, never that they are unregistered.
