Certifications

Sustainability Caught Excellence

Our practices are independently certified. Each organization below verifies a different part of how we operate — from sustainable pole-and-line methods to full traceability — so buyers can trust where our seafood comes from and how it's caught.

Kosher Certification
Our Kosher certification, upheld by stringent standards, ensures compliance with traditional dietary laws. This certification reflects our commitment to quality and respect for diverse dietary practices. It signifies that our seafood products, from processing to packaging, adhere to the meticulous requirements of Kosher guidelines. This commitment extends beyond mere compliance, embodying our dedication to ethical and responsible food production, catering to the needs of Kosher consumers globally while maintaining the highest standards of quality and purity in our seafood offerings.
IPNLF Pole and Line Certification
The International Pole & Line Foundation (IPNLF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and management of responsible fisheries. Its primary focus is on supporting pole-and-line and handline tuna fisheries, which are known for their low environmental impact and contribution to local communities. IPNLF's certification program offers assurance of sustainability and traceability, ensuring that certified products come from well-managed sources that do not contribute to overfishing.
Sustainable Tuna Certification
The South African Tuna Association (SATA) was formed as a non-profit organisation in 1985 by a group of pole-and-line tuna vessel owners. It is one of the oldest and longest standing South African registered industrial bodies, in terms of the Marine Living Resources Act. Today, the Association represents some 75 local pole-and-line vessel owners and operators.
MSC Hake Certification
The South African Longline Hake Certification covers hake caught using environmentally responsible longline methods that minimize bycatch and protect marine ecosystems. It assures buyers that our hake comes from a fishery managed for long-term sustainability.
