Guy Dean is the President and GM at Organic Ocean Seafood Inc.

Organic Ocean Seafood Inc. started the “Organic Ocean at Home” program when COVID-19 strikes. They are among the first to recognize the need for healthy nutritious food despite the pandemic hence they explored options to keep the seafood supply chain flowing. Thus, “Organic Ocean at Home” program was launched and seafood was delivered around Canada. Their seafood comes from wild capture fisheries, Indigenous harvesters, and responsible aquaculture with everything they supply required to meet or exceed the highest sustainable and socially responsible production standards. Organic Ocean Seafood Inc, generates and distributes value by connecting the producers and consumers.
