Whole fish, fillets and portions, fresh, chilled or frozen. Cards appear only for reviewed supplier listings.
Short answer
Finfish: send a request with the species, product form, size or grade, processing, packing, volume, destination and delivery schedule. Cards below appear only for reviewed supplier listings; species guides explain how each species is usually traded.
Every card is an anonymous capability summary a producer, processor or exporter submitted and our team reviewed before it appeared. Details are as stated by the supplier: they are not stock, price, quality or availability commitments, and FishMatch does not verify species, origin, production method or certifications. Requests go through FishMatch; buyers and suppliers are not put in direct contact. Managed seafood sourcing is free for buyers, for annual or seasonal programmes of USD 250,000 or more.
FishMatch Group and the other Global B2B Group platforms are committed to conducting their own activities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. FishMatch facilitates sourcing and RFQs; it does not manufacture, process, export or sell the listed products and does not grant regulatory approval. Requirements differ by product and by origin, destination and transit country. As buyer or importer, you remain responsible for your own import permissions, local requirements and due diligence. This notice does not change anyone's legal duties and is not legal advice. Regulation & responsibilitiesReviewed listings
