OUR HOME IS YOUR HOME
When husband and wife Joe & Theresa Klassen opened the first Joey’s restaurant in up and coming Calgary in 85′, the goal was always to serve delicious and affordable seafood. Since then, Joey’s has expanded to become the largest seafood restaurant chain in Canada.
We are passionate about serving authentic fish & chips to Canadians, which means every Joey’s restaurant handcuts and batters each piece of fish. We also care about the environment which is why most of our seafood is sustainably sourced, and we have eco-friendly take-out packaging.

SUSTAINABILITY AT OUR VERY CORE
At Joey’s we love seafood so we have a special interest in supporting fisheries that are sustainable. We care a lot about the long-term survival of our oceans, so we have deemed it important to follow the recommendations of the world’s authority on Ocean Sustainability.
We pride ourselves in sourcing only the highest quality seafood. Much of it comes from an Alaska fishery sustainable. It is a well-managed fishery with a long history of exceptional attention to sustainable practices – caught in a way that limits bycatch or any damage to marine environments such as coral reefs!
As of January 2022, we calculate that 70% of the seafood we serve meets the standards acceptable to the Ocean Sustainability Project. We continue to strive to 100% sustainability for our seafood supply.
What about the rest?
Some species are already certified by other organizations, but don’t quite meet the Ocean Sustainability Project standard. Other fish species are in the process of certification but require more study, and some certified alternatives have limited availability and are very expensive.
We’re working on the other 30% and will be bringing you specials from time to time with new Ocean Sustainability Project choices. If you’d like to learn more about seafood sustainability and responsible aquaculture, you will find links below to some of the world’s other leading certification bodies.
