Less rice, more fish, and always customized: that's the promise of Fish Club Privé, a take-out sushi club like no other. Founded by Christian Genest, the creator of Sushi Taxi, FISH offers sushi prepared according to each client's profile, served in real wooden boxes. After Québec, the concept has expanded to Saint-Sauveur, with a third branch planned for Bromont. Here's how this Fish Club sushi Québec, which is creating a buzz among sushi lovers, works—from concept to membership.

A Private Sushi Club by Christian Genest

Christian Genest is no newcomer to the sushi world. He founded Sushi Taxi in September 2000 and grew the business to 19 locations before selling it in 2017. With FISH, he wanted to break the status quo in an industry where, according to him, there's too much rice and not enough fish.

The Fish Club's approach is based on freshness: the company holds a fresh fish permit that ensures traceability from the boat to the kitchen. According to the founder, the vast majority of sushi counters use frozen fish, which makes all the difference in flavors and textures.

A Fish Aging Cellar

In September 2023, Christian Genest inaugurated a controlled aging cellar in Québec, a first in Québec and a second in Canada according to the company. Instead of freezing the fish, it is hung in a fridge where temperature, humidity, and lighting are controlled. This aging technique, halfway between science and art, lasts several days: moisture, juices, and odor evaporate to reveal flavors of hazelnut, butter, and truffle. A true discovery for fish lovers.

How It Works: Your Profile, Your Chef, Your Box

At Fish Club Privé, forget the fixed menu. You indicate your tastes and preferences, and the chefs prepare a customized box. You can even choose the chef who will prepare your sushi, based on their specialties. Orders are placed online, on the site of the chosen branch, specifying the desired date.

At Fish Club, there is no dining room: it's a take-out service, with counter pickup or delivery within a radius of about 25 km. For a dinner with friends, a family meal, or an evening at the chalet in the Laurentians, it's a great meal idea that feels like a high-end restaurant at home.

On the Menu: Fishbox, Fishbowl, and Other Boxes

The selection varies, but generally includes:

  • the Fishbox, the iconic box of 14 gourmet sushi pieces;
  • the Fishbowl, for sashimi lovers;
  • the Nigiribox, for nigiri purists;
  • the Kidzbox, a customized, budget-friendly option for children;
  • the Party Platter and the Trip Box, for 4, 5, or 6 people;
  • a lunch menu, available on certain weekdays.

Prices and availability change depending on the branch and the season: check the site for details.

Becoming a Member: Prices and Benefits

You can order without being a member of the private club, but the subscription is worth it if you're a regular customer. For $40 per year, members receive:

  • 15% off at all times (doubled on Sundays);
  • real, reusable wooden boxes;
  • sauces and condiments in bottle format, with free refills;
  • access to member-only days;
  • a private concierge service.

On the environmental side, the Fish Club Privé wooden box concept has proven itself: in May 2025, the company claimed to have avoided 75,000 cardboard boxes in 18 months, thanks to more than 17,000 containers in circulation, tracked using NFC stickers. Less plastic, more presentation: the boxes also serve as serving trays.
