Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation, a self-sustaining federal Crown corporation created in 1969, is the buyer, processor and marketer of freshwater fish from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Northwest Territories, and part of Northwestern Ontario. The Corporation's mandate is: to purchase all fish lawfully fished and offered for sale; to create an orderly market; to promote international markets; to increase fish trade; and to increase returns to fishers. Profits, in the form of final payments, are distributed annually to participating fishers.

The Board of Directors, with the President & Chief Executive Officer, govern the Corporation. All eleven positions on the Board are federal Order-in-Council appointments, with five appointed on recommendation of the participating governments. A four-member senior management team assists the President and forty-six full-time staff provide administrative support. In addition, the Corporation employs up to 350 seasonal employees. Thirty-two contracted agents and four corporate agencies grade and purchase fish at sixty-six delivery points. Approximately 2,400 fishers deliver the product harvested from more than 400 lakes in the region.

Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation has established a solid reputation for product reliability, quality and safety. The Corporation is a recognized price leader, exercising its mandate to interprovincial and international trade and marketing. It has a leadership position in the U.S. walleye market, and is the largest supplier of whitefish in Finland, whitefish caviar in Sweden and Finland, and northern pike in France. The Corporation plant is kosher-certified and the largest supplier of fish to the gefilte fish market.
