Cheena is a family-owned business established in 1978 in Vancouver. Cheena, in the Indigenous Haida language means “The Silvery Salmon” or "The Best of Salmon." The company was a pioneer in leading the market for value-added seafood products in B.C., beginning by supplying the tourism sector, but gradually expanding to supply retailers, duty-free operators, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and other customers all over the globe. Cheena is participating in the Marine Stewardship Council’s Sustainable Salmon initiative.
