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.

Raise a glass to your favourite local distiller because today is World Whiskey Day!🥃🥃🥃

It takes a lot of grit, timing and patience to produce a barrel of whiskey. It’s a craft you need to perfect, but by the time it runs out of the still into the barrel thousands of dollars are already spent, and it still has to sit for another three years minimum👌
I can’t wait until our local distillery @antidotedistillingco first taste in a couple of years!🥃🥃🥃

Drink responsibly and stay safe this May Long Weekend!

We ran into Gio at the store today and he was representing the brand so we seized the opportunity for a photo shoot!

I bet some of you have some stories to tell, you may remember him as Mr. Selva, the principal at Wood School!😎
