We're thrilled to share some exciting news that feels like it was meant to be, SaltSpring Kitchen Co. products are now available in the Passages Gift Shop on BC Ferries!
BC Ferries connects communities across our beautiful coastal waters, and SaltSpring Kitchen Co. has always been rooted in the island life that makes this region so special. Now locals and visitors alike can discover a taste of Salt Spring Island as they travel between Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and the mainland.
There's something fitting about our products crafted here on Salt Spring Island, being available as you travel these island waters. Our anchors have found a new home onboard, and we couldn't be happier about it.
BC Ferries has partnered with local organizations, and currently, 60% of the food sold on board is from BC.
If you buy our gourmet jams and preserves on board, you don't have to wait until you get to your destination to enjoy them. Our preserves are available in 125ml and 250ml jars, perfect for trying on the ferry, or taking along as a gift to someone you’re visiting.
Breakfast
Top your Belgium waffles, yogurt and fruit, or baked goods with anything from our Sweet Collection. Add Spicy Tomato Savoury Spread to your breakfast sandwich for a flavour upgrade, or alongside your eggs.
Lunch & Dinner
Grabbing a sandwich? Add one of our preserves to elevate it beyond the ordinary. Ordering a burger—beef, chicken, fish, or veggie? Here's a controversial BC topic—swap out the Triple-O sauce for anything from our Gourmet Burger Collection. For chicken strips, dip them in Spicy Tomato Savoury Spread or mix Candied Jalapeño Relish with mayo for a gourmet twist on a classic cafeteria meal.
Having one of the salads? Stir a bit of preserves from our Spicy or Sweet Collection into the dressing container before dressing your salad to add a bright, fruity flavour.
Pro tip: A mess-free and easy way to dress a salad in a container is to pour your desired amount of dressing on the salad, put the lid back on, and give the whole thing a shake, side to side, and all around. You’ll get an evenly dressed salad without splashing it on your shirt!
Coffee & Dessert
Treating yourself to a slice of cake or cheesecake? Add a spoonful of anything from our Sweet Collection. Getting a pie? Try it with any sweet flavour or something spicy and fruity like Raspberry & Habanero Spicy Pepper Spread.
Coastal Cafe Express kiosks onboard also offer sandwiches, desserts, and other grab-and-go items that pair perfectly with our preserves.
Available on select sailings with per-person entry fees, these lounges offer elevated dining where our preserves truly shine. Menus change throughout the year, so there's always something new to try.
Seascapes Dining Lounge – Breakfast
Top the power protein bowl with our Sweet Collection flavours. Add them to the chicken and waffles or banana caramel crepes for extra fruity flavours. Pair Spicy Tomato Savoury Spread with the breakfast scramble or croissant breakfast sandwich.
Seascapes Dining Lounge – Lunch & Dinner
Pair our preserves with the charcuterie plate or specialty sandwiches like the Hot Honey Chicken or Muffuletta. The seafood pot pie pairs beautifully with Spicy Tomato Savoury Spread or Hot Mango.
Seawest Lounge
The cheese platter, crackers, and fresh fruit here are a perfect match for any of our preserves. For breakfast service, top your yogurt or baked goods with Sweet Collection flavours.
Packed a lunch or travelling with restaurant leftovers? There’s a microwave at Coastal Cafe Express, and you can add any of our flavours to crackers and cheese, leftovers, or sandwiches to elevate the everyday.
While you can't toss any partially consumed jars into your carry-on luggage, you can order online from our online shop, and we'll ship them to your door to enjoy when you get home. Free shipping on orders $150+ in Canada.
