Boreal Trade summary
R.J. King Fisheries Limited sells cold water shrimp from Meteghan Centre, Nova Scotia. The shrimp are cooked and frozen at sea.
The Nova Scotia Seafood Alliance listing also shows cooked, frozen lobster.
The company describes itself as a small, family business founded by Raymond J. King in 1974. It began with a lobster boat, then moved to a dragger for groundfish.
In 1992 it began fishing cold water shrimp. It then equipped its vessel to process the catch at sea rather than sell it raw.
The company later moved to a larger vessel, a former herring seiner. It owns and operates its fishing boats.
The Nova Scotia seafood export catalogue lists the United States as an export market. Its other markets are not established here.
This suits importers and distributors looking for cooked, frozen cold water shrimp from a small family-run harvester-processor. Volumes and specifications are for the company to give you directly.

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.
