A while back, I saw Captain Highliner Salmon - Product of China. Since then, I haven't looked at this brand.
Some of the fish is sourced from overseas due to lack of availability in North America. The product is then processed in Canada and is a top quality product.

This is a great deal.

This price seems like it should be regular price.. It's over $1/ piece for some of the flavours.

Would never buy this at the 12.99 price or whatever it is for 4-6 pieces of frozen fish.

Highliner Pan Sear does not have a thick layer of greasy batter that makes up half the packaged weight and size - - it's pretty much straight fish meat.

If you think that 2-3 dollars for a fish fillet nowadays is expensive, then you likely aren't in charge of your family grocery budget.

Regent Park FreshCo there's a noticeable hole on the shelves where the Salmon Pan Sear should be (lots of the other three varieties)

I got a box of Highliner tempura battered fish couple weeks back. Fish was super reconstituted (think fish balls) and I think it was 60% batter,40% fish. Ymmv

I found these $2 off peel-off coupons stuck to some boxes while price matching at Superstore.

Then maybe you should try this product and not compare it to something completely different.

This.
You are paying for ~1lb of cod / haddock here. I dont know about you, but I am a hard time finding cod/haddock for that price. And this is already nicely spiced and pretty good tasting.

The goal was to point out the fact that Highliner is a crappy company that sells garbage, the quality of their other products definitely reflects the quality of this product, no?
Also, Highliner Signature is the battered fish, so the OP isnt just talking about pansear

I always worry about this also, but the website breaks this down quite well. Caught elsewhere, cleaned and packaged in China. https://highliner.com/#!en/FAQ

Actually, I do buy for my family. Not sure why not knowing the market price for tilapia makes me otherwise.

If you think it’s ok to pay regular price for this then go ahead.

I currently have three boxes of Highliner Pan-Sear in the freezer, and they all say:

"Made in Canada from domestic and imported ingredients."

The Haddock box says it is "Wild caught in the North Atlantic ocean."
The Sole box says it is "Wild caught in the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans."
The Cod box says it is "Wild caught in the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans."

There's no reason they couldn't have stopped at the chart.
They've just given me a very good reason to not purchase this "highliner" brand.

Any recommendations anyone?
I always liked breaded fish, but don't know which brand has enough fish in it.
I tried the brand "AquaStar" where they used sole fish, but the slice were too thin for my liking.

It's real easy to buy filets and bread them yourself, doesnt take long at all. That's what I do.
