Vancouver-based commercial fishery GoodFish Seafood gets thousands of TikTok views by taking the viewer out to sea

Welcome to my crib

For a lot of people, life on a boat is uncharted territory. GoodFish co-founders Fraser MacDonald and Samuel Gartside show their followers a whole new world through boat “home tours.”

In sea-sickness and in health

The fishing life isn’t always easy, and GoodFish shows it (through a good-natured lens, of course). Candid videos and vulnerable content create engaging moments that draw followers in even further.

It takes a fishing village

Collaborating with local chefs and restaurants for recipes expands the reach of the GoodFish brand, and, of course, results in scrumptious pieces of content.
