OTTAWA – The federal Fisheries Department says $4.1 billion worth of Canadian seafood landed on tables in more than 100 countries last year, with lobster remaining the most valuable export.
Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield said Sunday that Canada exported $41 million more in fish and seafood products in 2012 than the year before.
"The strong exports in 2012 demonstrate the trust consumers place in our fish and seafood products worldwide," he said in a statement.
More than 60 per cent of Canada's seafood exports were shipped to the United States last year at a value of $2.6 billion.
