About the company
Built at sea. Delivered worldwide.
We are a Mauritanian seafood company operating across the full chain — from our own fishing vessels on the Atlantic to sorted, graded and packed product ready for international shipment.
Because the catch is ours, the quality is ours to control. Our crews handle, sort and chill on board within minutes of landing the net, which is what makes the difference between a good fish and an export-grade one.
Onshore, product is graded by species and calibre, packed to buyer specification and held in cold storage until shipment. Each batch carries its vessel, catch area and date, so our customers know exactly what they are buying.
- Direct sourcing from our own fleet
- On-board handling and chilling
- Species and calibre grading

Our fleet
A fleet built for freshness
Owning our vessels is not a detail — it is the reason our product arrives the way it does. Handling begins at sea, not at the port.

Hygiene
Cleaning and handling protocols applied on board and in the packing hall.

Product is inspected and graded before it is packed.
Traceability
