    An Amazon reviewer suspects that Ocean's brand is Gold Seal brand repackaged for the American market. I just put in an order for Ocean's Juniper and Coriander Smoked Mackerel.

      Ocean Brand is printed on the back of the can. Same ingredients (Hot smoked mackerel (mackerel, salt), sunflower oil, juniper berry oil, coriander seed oil) as the Ocean’s Smoked Wild Mackerel Juniper & Coriander

      @@CannedFishFiles Yeah, it's really good. I have two 12 packs of their smoked mackerel, I love their stuff. Another Canadian homegrown brand that I love that is really sustainable is Scout. I remember you tried their Lobster, but they have a smoked tuna and smoked salmon that are amazing. Another one is a herb dill trout! Not so common, so it was refreshing to try. If you ever have difficulty getting those, give me a shout in the comment here, I could maybe help!
