Sourced directly from Gimli fishermen on Lake Winnipeg
Owner Lorne Minarik spent his summers as a commercial fisherman out of Gimli on Lake Winnipeg, and he still maintains those connections today. That is how Springfield Meats brings in fresh Lake Winnipeg pickerel direct from the boats — a level of freshness most Winnipeg shoppers simply cannot find elsewhere.

Our pickerel arrives at the shop multiple times per week, cleaned and ready to cook. Pan-fry, bake, or grill — Lake Winnipeg pickerel is one of the most beloved Manitoba foods, and getting it directly from the source makes all the difference.
