Clearwater Seafoods is the world's biggest supplier of arctic surf clams, and they hold all three of the surf clam quotas. The fish plant in Grand Bank is Clearwater's main facility for processing arctic surf crab. But as of a September decision by DFO, Clearwater's arctic surf clam monopoly is over. Workers in the Clearwater fish plant in Grand Bank package arctic surf clam for sale in Asian markets. Twenty-five per cent of the quota for arctic surf clam will go to an Indigenous-led fishing operation in 2018.
