NL Snow Crab Reflects Excellence in Canadian Seafood
At the heart of Newfoundland and Labradorâs fishing heritage are its three famous products: NL snow crab, NL sea scallops, and capelin. These species are more than mere products-they are the foundation of a whole way of life that will continue to be sustained by QUINLAN for many generations to come. Living freely in chilly Atlantic waters and meeting the requirements of sustainable harvest practices, our seafood is truly inspired by the tradition, nature, and ability of man.
