About I. Deveau Fisheries

Premium live lobsters from Nova Scotia since 1975

Our Story

For over 40 years, I. Deveau Fisheries has been providing premium quality live lobster to customers around the world. Our journey began in Barrington Passage, Nova Scotia, with a simple mission: to deliver the finest Atlantic lobster while maintaining sustainable practices.

Over the years, we've grown to become one of the largest live lobster exporters from Nova Scotia, but our commitment to quality and sustainability remains unwavering. We combine generations of fishing expertise with innovative storage solutions to ensure our lobsters reach your plate in perfect condition.

Today, we're proud to be a trusted supplier for restaurants, distributors, and retailers across North America, Europe, and Asia who value premium quality and responsible harvesting.

Our Core Values

Sustainability

We are committed to responsible harvesting practices that protect the delicate marine ecosystem and ensure lobster populations for future generations.

Quality

We maintain rigorous quality control throughout our entire process, from harvesting to storage and shipping, ensuring only the best lobsters reach our customers.

Integrity

We conduct our business with honesty, transparency, and a strong ethical foundation that builds lasting relationships with fishermen, employees, and customers.

Community

We take pride in supporting our local fishing communities and contributing to the economic vitality of coastal Nova Scotia.

Our Advanced Facilities

We have one of the largest live lobster storage facilities in North America and can store up to 1,500,000 lbs of fresh lobster indoors and an additional 4,600,000 lbs outdoors.

Our tidal pond storage system replicates the natural habitat. Water levels fluctuate with the tides, thus acting as a natural filtration system. The result? A stronger, healthier lobster.

This innovative approach ensures we maintain the highest standards of quality and freshness throughout the entire supply chain.
