Great Lakes Tinned Fish

About

Great Lakes Tinned Fish brings something entirely different to the conservas world: sustainably sourced freshwater fish from the heart of the American Midwest. Headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this innovative producer transforms the bounty of the Great Lakes into thoughtfully crafted tins that capture the spirit of lakeside memories, sandy beaches, and fresh catches. While European conservas dominate our shelves for good reason, Great Lakes Tinned Fish proves that American waters have their own compelling story to tell —one steeped in regional pride, environmental stewardship, and genuine Midwestern hospitality. What sets Great Lakes Tinned Fish apart is their deep commitment to conservation and community . Working alongside partners like the Fishtown Preservation Society, MI Sea Grant, local tribes, and family-owned fisheries, they approach their craft as stewards of the waters rather than simply harvesters. As proud members of the 100% Fish Pledge , they're committed to innovative, waste-reducing practices throughout their supply chain. Founder Marissa Fellows received the 2025 Young Innovator Award from Michigan State University—recognition of the fresh perspective this producer brings to the tinned fish landscape. These tins deliver distinctive freshwater flavor profiles you won't find elsewhere in our collection. Whether you're a born-and-raised Michigander missing home, a tinned fish enthusiast seeking something new, or simply curious about what the Great Lakes have to offer, this collection invites you to experience conservas with a decidedly American accent. Serve alongside crusty bread and local cheeses for a Midwest-inspired conservas board, or let these tins transport you to the charming coastal towns and legendary waters of the Great Lakes region.
