Leslie Léger & Sons Ltd.

Leslie Léger & Sons Ltd. is a fish processor in Cap-Pelé, New Brunswick. Its record lists alewife, Atlantic herring, Atlantic mackerel, Atlantic cod and pollock.

The core line is cured and smoked herring. Its website shows salted and smoked herring fillets, choice bloaters sold whole or split, and golden Dutch-style smoked herring.

It also sells headless dressed herring in 25 lb pails. The herring is salted and cured in brine, and the site describes it as fresh-caught Atlantic herring.

For the smoked lines, the site says fish is slightly desalted and graded by size and quality before smoking. Pack formats shown include cartons and vacuum-sealed packs.

The company describes itself as family-owned and says it has worked in smoked fish since 1975. A trade listing traces the family's smoking of herring bloaters in Cap-Pelé to the early 1950s.

The same listing says pickled alewives (gaspereaux) were added in 1981. An automatic smoker for Dutch-style herring followed in 1984.

Pickled mackerel and pollock also appear in the company's own descriptions.

The company is listed as an exporter, and it presents itself as serving customers abroad. Its export markets are not established here.

It suits importers and distributors looking for cured, smoked or salted herring, or for pickled alewife and mackerel, from a long-running family processor in New Brunswick.
