Hardy Buoys Smoked Fish has been crafting high-quality smoked seafood in Port Hardy since 1994, becoming one of Vancouver Island’s most recognized seafood producers. Known for their traditional smoking methods and West Coast flavour, Hardy Buoys continues to bring locally crafted smoked salmon and seafood to communities across BC. As of 2026, the company has entered an exciting new chapter through its transition toward Indigenous ownership—supporting Indigenous leadership and strengthening long-standing connections between coastal communities, fishing traditions, and seafood stewardship on the West Coast. At Country Grocer, we’re proud to carry Hardy Buoys products as part of our commitment to supporting local Vancouver Island producers and Indigenous-led businesses shaping the future of BC’s food industry.
