Happy Things for Salty People
At The Salty Woodsman
We stock local seafood, specialty provisions, and home goods we love, from our Island and beyond.
Good things are better shared. That’s why everything we carry is handpicked and tested by us, for you: the locals we love, the travelers we meet and the community around us. Partnering with small-batch makers, craftspeople, and artisans to bring their work to you is a labour-of-love that feeds our souls. Whether you’re in the market for frozen seafood, blazing hot sauce, or a hand-poured candle, you’ll find it here in our cozy forest shop. We’re a Port Alberni secret- if you know, you know!
YOUR GO-TO FOR LOCAL SEAFOOD
The Salty Woodsman offers easy to access fresh, high-quality local seafood.
Come into the shop to see our rotating selection of fresh and frozen seafood.
A WILD SHOPPING ADVENTURE
The Salty Woodsman is more than a shop; it’s a destination. An unexpected experience in a beautiful forest enroute to the west coast.
SMALL BATCH GOODS WE LOVE
At The Salty Woodsman, we only stock specialty products, primarily local, that we’ve tested and loved ourselves.
Shop Our Goods
We believe our town, and the visitors who come through it, deserve easy access to local seafood, delicious things for the pantry, and beautiful goods for the home.

Here’s a little video of my new worm farm!🪱😂
These spoiled little red wrigglers should double in population every 2 months with the right conditions!
Right now they are chilling in my warm garage but there should be about 250 pounds next December so I’ll have to figure out a plan before Nadine kills me!🤘😂🪱
I’ll keep you updated as the farm progresses and feel free reach out if you’re interested in starting one too🫶
