Sourced from the Taylor Family in Wheatley, ON

Taylor Fish Company is a multi-generational, family-run operation based on Lake Erie, with deep roots in commercial fishing that span over 100 years. Led today by brothers Tim and Todd Taylor, the company blends tradition with innovation, using sustainable methods to harvest wild-caught pickerel (walleye), perch, and other Great Lakes species. Committed to protecting the lake they depend on, the Taylors follow strict quotas, responsible harvesting practices, and a philosophy of stewardship. Their dedication to quality, transparency, and sustainability makes them a trusted source for premium freshwater fish.

Mild, flaky, and local. Our wild-caught pickerel, also known as walleye, is a freshwater favourite prized for its delicate texture and clean, sweet flavour. Caught sustainably in Lake Erie and flash frozen at peak freshness, it’s a true Ontario classic.

This fish is perfect for pan-frying, baking, or grilling - whether you’re making fish and chips or serving it simply with lemon and herbs, pickerel is a versatile choice.

Cooking Reccomendations

Thawing

  1. Overnight: Place the frozen pickerel in the refrigerator overnight for a gentle, even thaw.
  2. Quick Thaw: Submerge the sealed bag of pickerel in cold water for 30–45 minutes, changing the water halfway through if needed.

Cooking (Pan-Seared)

  1. Remove thawed pickerel from packaging and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Lightly season both sides with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika or lemon pepper.
  3. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil or a small pat of butter.
  4. Place the fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) and cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges turn golden and crisp.
  5. Flip and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and your favourite seasonal vegetables or grains.

Find your prices a bit high

Find your prices a bit high. Your competition is lower. Also some pieces a bit small.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts — we really appreciate the feedback.

The wild pickerel is a newer product for us, so we're still testing it out with our customers. If we decide to keep it on the menu long-term, there's a good chance the price will come down as we’re able to order in larger volumes.

We’re still a small business and doing our best to offer high-quality, sustainably sourced seafood, but as we grow, we're always looking for ways to pass cost savings on to our customers. Your feedback helps us get there — so thank you again!

Health benefits

Getting Enough Seafood?

Seafood is rich in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, and vitamins D and B12. These nutrients help support heart health, brain function, and strong bones.

Health experts recommend eating at least two servings of fish per week to maximize these benefits.
