How We Source

Not all seafood products are produced equally. It is our job to bring you the highest-quality responsibly grown and processed shrimp, fish, and value-added products that we find around the world. Having passion for what we and all our partners do makes our work a labor of love. It is not just a job; it is our mission and joy to bring these products to you.

TILAPIA

Brood Stock/ Hatcheries

Genetics play a major role in the overall health and efficiency of tilapia, and this starts with proper breeding. Our farmer partners aim to select disease-resistant, fast growing, and great tasting strains. NGOs and industry partners across the world are constantly iterating on successful genetic lineages, and we make sure that our farmer partners have access to the best information on advances in this space.

Feed

What our farmer partners feed their fish impacts their health, growth, and flavor. Our farmers fine-tune their feeding based on tilapia eating habits, often integrating advanced technology into the ponds to support efficient feeding cycles. They use quality, nutritious feed with fully traceable ingredients and are constantly striving to minimize the amount of fishery derived feed ingredients.

Water

The integrity of the water makes all the difference in the quality of tilapia. If you've ever had tilapia with an earthy flavor, it's because of the presence of MIB and/or Geosmin in the water they were harvested from. These compounds are the result of the presence of Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). While perfectly safe, we work with our farmers to keep the levels below .005ng/l so all our tilapia tastes clean and fresh.

Clean processing

Our fish arrive live at GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) certified processing facilities where they are processed into finished goods in less than an hour to maximize the freshness of our fish.
