A Family Business for Over 160 Years
Barry Group Inc. is a vertically integrated, fourth generation family company. Since the 1830’s, this family business has exported top quality, wild seafood around the world. Today, the Barry family is proud to carry on that early tradition of sourcing premium seafood from the rich Canadian fishing grounds. While fishing methods and innovation have changed, our family company maintains the original 19th century work ethic it was built on, while integrating 21st century technology.
