 Here in St. Thomas we have many amazing local businesses that offer amazing food and drink options. We wanted to dig a little deeper into what makes some of these unique establishments tick, and today we are highlighting Steelhead Food Co. located on the North end of the city at 5 Barrie Blvd. Steelhead Food Co. created an innovative business where they operate a public Fish & Seafood Market, in addition to the wholesale aspect of their business. We caught up with Meg McTaggart, one of the co-owners, to find the story behind Steelhead.

 Looking for a sweet read? We’re bringing one right to you as we have the latest scoop on another amazing local business. Did you catch all our ice cream puns in the introduction? Then you probably guessed right, we are featuring The Ice Box, located at 125 Ross Street. Joining our community back in 2020, The Ice Box makes in-house ice cream and gelato, some of which feature ingredients from other local businesses.

Through this process, we learned that Wendell's father worked out of this very building when it was still Moore Tire Ltd.
