My Fishwife Salmon came labeled as Ekone. Safe to assume Taylor Shellfish packages these tins?

“Fishwife has partnered with Ekone for products like smoked salmon, meaning some consumers might see products co-branded or associate the two companies.”
They’re too fucking lazy, rebranding other companies’ work as their own product

Yeah, I think all of the Fishwife salmon and tuna products in those round cans are white label canned for them by Ekone. The Ekone & Fishwife salmon/tuna products are around the same price but the Ekone smoked salmon is locally-caught coho, and their white labeled salmon products for Fishwife use Atlantic salmon. The Ekone albacore is also PNW-caught but the Fishwife albacore is from the Atlantic as well according to their sourcing info.

Tinned fish brands have to use other canneries because the infrastructure does not exist to support the level of growth in the industry. This is also part of the business model for these smaller canneries.

Hate to break it to you but this happens with a lot of food products. Same or basically the same product coming from the same plant, just in a different size or with a different label.
