Butterfly Brand Seafood

Butterfly Brand Seafood is a small, family run fishery specializing in wild BC scallops and salmon. The fishery, situated on beautiful Quadra Island, is known for it's dedication to harvesting scallops in an environmentally sustainable way, and it's efforts to preserve the ocean's resources for the future.

Founder, Tim Richards designed the Butterfly trawl for fishing pink and spiny scallops in BC. The Butterfly trawl does not penetrate the ocean floor like traditional trawlers do, rather it runs on five runners like skis, catching the scallops as they swim. The entire trawl weighs approximately 300 pounds on land. When fishing nearly all this weight is born on the towline, so very little pressure is put on the sea bottom. This combined with the trawls slow towing speed (less than one knot) makes the trawl have virtually no by catch. For his efforts, Tim Richards received the Romeo LeBlanc Award for responsible fishing. Everyone at Butterfly Brand Seafood is proud to be recognized for their efforts in making this fishery one of the cleanest scallop trawl fisheries in the world.
