Aquaculture Development
Our red snapper is maricultured in clean controlled ocean waters. The offshore sea cage setup gives consistent growth, a reliable supply and environmental responsibility, and the farming process helps maintain the red hue that the market pays for.
Market Potential
The vibrant colour and versatility make red snapper successful in international markets. It performs across grilling, steaming, baking and frying, and the whole fish presentation is a large part of its appeal in restaurant service.
Protecting the Colour Through the Cold Chain
Colour fades when freezing is slow. We freeze immediately after harvest and hold the cold chain at -18 C or below through storage and loading, which is what keeps the skin looking the way the buyer expects on arrival.
