Second Annual Sip & Slurp
As the first fish market in the Vancouver area to join the Ocean Wise™ program in 2009; to Heather Jenkins and her staff at 1 Fish 2 Fish Fresh Seafood Market, protecting and sustaining seafood and fish stocks has always been a top priority. As overfishing continues to threaten our oceans today, Jenkins and her team are set to raise awareness about the Ocean Wise™ conservation program by celebrating Ocean Wise month with a party on Thursday, November 17th.
While throwing a party seems an odd way to turn the tide on overfished or depleted seafood and fish stocks, Jenkins thinks the best way is to lead by example and show customers and guests how delicious and accessible sustainable seafood is in the lower mainland. "We are proud to be an Ocean Wise partner and look forward to a great evening with our customers filled with award winning wines, Ocean Wise hors d'oeuvres and a raw Oyster bar."
"We are truly fortunate in British Columbia to live along a coast line that provides us with a fish and seafood bounty unlike many others," remarked Jenkins "With more than 400 known species of marine fish living in the ocean waters off our coast, enjoying the bounty can sometimes come with negative impacts like pollution and an altered ecosystem." Jenkins' hopes that by hosting the event, customers and guests leave with having experienced a local and sustainable selection of Ocean Wise™ options. .../read more

Fish friends help salmon thrive in Nicomekl.
By Matthew Claxton, March 11, 2011
Adopting a tiny salmon fry will help restock and rejuvenate a local stream.
People ask Heather Jenkins if she's raising her own salmon when they walk in to her downtown Langley seafood store, 1 Fish 2 Fish.
"Sort of, yes," she tells them.
The salmon fry in the tank aren't actually destined for the display cases at the Fraser Highway store. Instead, the 80 tiny fish will be released into the Nicomekl River this spring, with thousands of their siblings.

Fishy donation welcomed in Gateway kitchen
June 18, 2010
A local fresh seafood market, 1 Fish 2 Fish, was faced with a fishy situation.
The recent success of its 12th annual halibut whole fish event resulted in the sale of 6,000 pounds of fresh BC halibut. But it also meant 1,000 pounds of fish trimmings, explained owner Heather Jenkins.
Since she built her downtown Langley City business on supplying customers eco-friendly, sustainable products, the idea of throwing away all of the fishy goodness was a bit troublesome.

May 27, 2010
Langley, BC: It seemed a likely choice for 1 Fish 2 Fish owner Heather Jenkins. Heather has long since been a supporter of sustainable fishing practices and since opening the doors of her seafood market has quietly pursued eco-friendly options for her customers. This past spring Heather approached the Nicomekl Enhancement Society with the idea of raising much needed funds and salmon fry in the market to help support the Society’s work in the community. “The volunteers have little funding and are committed to protecting and enhancing the salmon and trout stocks that run through the watershed,” notes Jenkins.
