History

Yarmouth Bar was founded by a fisherman with an intention: to create a space that would serve as a model for the future of fishing in the region. From the very beginning, every decision has been guided by a deep commitment to sustainability and a focus on preserving the industry for future generations.

Over the past 40 years, we’ve worked tirelessly to reduce our environmental footprint, making significant strides toward a more sustainable operation. Nearly a decade ago, we forged a meaningful partnership with Glooscap First Nation, strengthening our dedication to responsible stewardship and community collaboration.

As we look ahead, we remain focused on continuing this legacy, building a future where both the ocean and the people who depend on it can thrive together. Our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and partnership will guide us for years to come, ensuring that the fishing industry in this region remains strong, resilient, and deeply connected to the community.
