Seafood sourcing questions
What farmed species and product forms can I request?
Commercial buyers can describe farmed fish or shrimp requirements, including chilled or frozen, whole fish, fillets and shrimp presentations. This is request scope, not a list of available species, origins or stock. State the scientific name where known; any producer coverage must be checked by the team.
What does a buyer need for a useful seafood RFQ?
Provide species, farming origin preference, harvest window, product form, size and its unit, processing/packing, metric tonnes per shipment, frequency, destination, receiving window and cold-chain requirements. Write ‘to be confirmed’ for unknown details; the team must clarify them before evaluating supply.
How does matching work in this pilot?
FishMatch stores your brief privately for human review. The team checks missing requirements and any potential producer fit; the form does not automatically contact suppliers or confirm availability. Any proposed scope, documentation and commercial terms need further review. A match is not guaranteed.
Do seafood buyers pay to submit a brief?
Buyer entry and seafood brief submission are free. The pilot does not take payment or create an order. Any later commercial terms must be agreed separately. The USD 250,000 equipment-project qualification is not a seafood minimum order value.
Are supplier identities and certificates public?
No. Supplier names, contact details and sensitive documents are not publicly displayed or automatically released to buyers. Producer applications are self-reported and private; registration does not verify certificates, stock or traceability.
Does FishMatch guarantee harvest dates, delivery or inspection?
No. A requested harvest window is not a dispatch or delivery commitment. The pilot does not guarantee inventory, certification, quality audits, inspection, delivery or a match. Confirm product, lot, cold-chain and destination requirements with the responsible parties before committing.
Which import documents and temperatures apply?
Requirements depend on product, processing, origin and destination. The responsible importer must confirm the applicable rules. Codex guidance for quick-frozen shrimp is not a universal temperature rule for every seafood product; US seafood HACCP exemptions and EU farmed-versus-wild rules also need product-specific review. See the linked import buying guide and its official sources.
