A COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATION AT HEART

BRINGING TINNED FISH TO THE
GREAT LAKES

The Great Lakes must be treated with great care to be enjoyed for generations to come. Learning from and working with partners and experts — from Fishtown Preservation Society, MI Sea Grant and statewide research institutions to local tribes and family-owned fisheries — it takes a village to coordinate responsible actions and future-minded solutions to continue utilizing the natural resources available to us as stewards of our waters.

We are a part of the collective, and we’ll look for opportunities to engage in the ongoing dialogue and work that this requires.
JOINING THE PLEDGE
Great Lakes Tinned Fish is proud to be a member of the 100% Fish Pledge. As part of the pledge, we're committed to raising awareness in the fish supply chain about opportunities for innovative applications for fish byproducts, including compost, fertilizer, protein, marine collagen, leather, or other new, high-value products. We'll work closely with our suppliers to advance this initiative.
HOME SWEET MICHIGAN
A Midwestern
care package

Headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Great Lakes Tinned Fish is inspired by every lakeside memory, boating excursion, or fresh catch that reminds us of home. The Mitten State will always play a special role in this business, but whether you’re a born-and-raised Michigander, a frequent visitor, or have never stepped foot in the Midwest, we hope you’ll feel right at home (just note: the experience may very well inspire you to book a trip to our sandy beaches and charming coastal towns). Whatever it stirs in you, great things start with that feeling of place in mind. Supporting local will always be close to our hearts.

BETTER, TOGETHER

The greatest pairing

Great Lakes Tinned Fish has been made possible by every industry interaction — belly up to a bar in Traverse City, shucking oysters dockside in Boston, or hosting dinner parties with Grand Rapids-based chefs and caterers — where belief in an idea led to a spark of recognition. Continuing to work in partnership will create real ripples of (flavorful) impact. Here’s to continuing to roll up our sleeves and dig in, together.
A note from Marissa, founder of
Great Lakes Tinned Fish

Thanks so much for being here and embarking on this journey with me. We may share a passion for the Great Lakes, hosting a good dinner party, or tinned fish – hopefully all of the above! – and finding kindred spirits makes all the effort worthwhile. Whether you’re new to tinned fish (a “seacuterie meet cute” as I like to say) or a seasoned afishionado, you’re welcome at my table. I hope you’ll feel all the warmth of Midwestern hospitality, at every interaction. Welcome to the Great Lakes party. Pull up a seat and grab a plate.
