WHO WE ARE
Everyone
knows that Prince Edward Island is famous for Anne of Green Gables and
potatoes. What people may not know is that we are also the leading oyster
producing province in Canada with 6 million pounds being shipped worldwide
annually. Mother Nature has gifted us with an area of outstanding natural
beauty and ideal conditions to grow the popular Crassostrea Virginica
oyster - also known as the “American” oyster - a veritable food treasure
enjoyed by millions worldwide.
Our company
is based in Salutation Cove, in the community of Fernwood, on the south
shore of Prince Edward Island. We have been cultivating some of the best
oysters in the Atlantic Region, thanks to the ideal conditions of Salutation
Cove, a sheltered, clean, protected sanctuary. The shoreline of the cove
is a truly magnificent unspoiled piece of nature that has escaped the
development seen in many other oyster growing areas. In fact, our only
neighbours are a few shorebirds and the occasional heron looking for dinner.
The vast majority of this shoreline is bound to remain unchanged for years
to come thanks to the Island Nature Trust which owns a vast part of the
lands surrounding our oyster beds.
Ted
Boutilier
Ted
is responsible for the day to day operations of Future Seafoods
as well as all sales and marketing. His outgoing friendly nature
is a perfect fit for this demanding job.
Ted,
or “Nova Scotia Ted” as he is known to many, cut his teeth in
the seafood industry growing up on the western side of St. Margaret’s
Bay in the community of Bayswater, Nova Scotia. After his share
of life’s twists and turns, Ted and wife Sharon, son Curtis
and stepdaughter Jessica moved to Kensington, PEI. This move allowed
Ted and his long-time friends Brian and Erskine Lewis to form
a very progressive, and environmentally responsible shellfish
company. Ted’s hobbies include boating, spending time with his
family and chatting about his love for the oyster. Please drop
a line or, even better, drop in to Future Seafoods anytime to
say hello.

is done. Brian is married to Christine and they have 3 children,
Darcy, Samantha and Ryan. Brian’s favourite pastimes are coaching
Ryan’s minor hockey team and travelling to the many tournaments
