Where it all Started

1978

The Beginning

Captain Gaston Bérubé was a PhD student at University of Quebec in Rimouski where he started his research mostly on west coast sea urchins. He then widened his exploration on the St. Lawrence River and learned that there were so many hidden gems in the river, including the Quebec green sea urchins.

1981

Exporting to Japan and Korea

Captain Bérubé saw this as an opportunity and came up with his own way to harvest sea urchins on the coast of Rimouski. At that time, sea urchins were not well known to the locals so he mainly exported them to Japan with the collaboration of another company in Korea. To learn more about sea urchins and to perfect his harvesting method, he visited Hokkaido, Japan which is known for their famous Bafun Uni, a species closely related to the urchins found in Quebec.

1996

Awareness within the Quebec Market

Exporting to Japan was going well but Captain Bérubé wanted the locals to try this tasteful delicacy. He therefore created Corail Saint-Laurent which focused on harvesting and transformation of sea urchins for the Quebec market.

2021

Connecting Directly to Consumers

With our mission to connect the Rimouski fishermen directly to consumers, we have created UNI-QUE to bring more awareness to the local market instead of only exporting this amazing product to the US or Japan!
