Clearwater Seafoods LP is a major North American seafood company headquartered in Bedford, Nova Scotia, with origins dating to 1976. It operates across the seafood value chain, from harvesting and processing to distribution, owning fishing quotas, vessels, and processing facilities to manage quality from ocean to plate. The company focuses on sustainably sourced, wild-caught species, including scallops, lobster, clams, coldwater shrimp, and crab, and markets these products worldwide under its Clearwater and private-label brands.

As a vertically integrated producer, Clearwater positions itself as a leading harvester, processor, and marketer of wild seafood, emphasizing sustainable resource management. In 2015 it expanded its product portfolio by acquiring Macduff Shellfish, broadening its range with shellfish such as King and Queen scallops, langoustine, crabs, and whelk. In 2025 the company expanded its facilities in Arichat, Nova Scotia, reflecting ongoing investment in its inshore lobster business. The organization maintains a global footprint of offices, plants, and vessels to support its integrated model and worldwide customer base.
