Our Process

Harvest. Process. Pack. Ship.

The four-step pipeline

Maintain cold chain.

  1. 01

    Harvest

    Sourced direct from Sri Lanka's coastal fleet across FAO-57 / Indian Ocean.

  2. 02

    Process

    Fish are washed, cleaned, and weighed, then stored in chill tanks until chemical test results are received. During processing, fish undergo gill and gut removal, with tails and fins removed (and heads removed for H/G shipments). They are then thoroughly washed, filleted (split into halves), and finally deboned to remove all remaining bones.

  3. 03

    Pack

    Seafood products are packed in LDPE + Nylon vacuum bags, labelled with export-required details, and then vacuum sealed to ensure hygiene, safety, and extended shelf life. After sealing, products are master packed into styrofoam boxes or corrugated cartons with gel ice (and dry ice if required) to maintain temperature control. Finally, cartons are labelled and stored in cold rooms until dispatch, ensuring product quality and export compliance.
