Middle East HORECA & Foodservice Direct

Premium Seafood & Shrimps for Dubai, KSA & GCC

Q: What do Gulf importers need from a seafood supplier?

Health certification accepted by the destination authority, Halal certification, and a cold chain that survives the last mile in summer conditions. Our GCC HORECA supply ships daily by air into Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha and Muscat with SFDA-compliant Halal and TRACES documentation.

Q: Is your seafood suitable for Halal-certified supply chains?

Yes. Our Middle East HORECA supply ships with TRACES and SFDA-compliant Halal certification, which is what hotel groups, catering companies and airline kitchens in the GCC require from an imported seafood supplier.

Q: Can you supply on a recurring weekly or monthly schedule?

Yes, and for HORECA and distributor accounts it is the normal arrangement. We agree a standing volume and delivery day, hold the allocation against it, and adjust ahead of seasonal demand peaks. Continuous programmes also make certification and documentation routine instead of a per-shipment exercise.

Q: Do you guarantee cold-chain integrity?

Yes — every shipment is monitored with temperature loggers and a report is shared with you. Chilled seafood and eyed ova move in insulated, temperature-controlled packaging, and the logger record travels with the consignment so the receiving side can verify the whole journey rather than trust a claim.

Q: Which Mediterranean species do you export?

Sea bass and sea bream are the volume species, alongside meagre, amberjack, rainbow trout, shrimp, blue crab and oysters. Sizes, grades and presentation — whole gutted, fillet, fresh or frozen — are set per order, because a retail chain and an airline caterer need different things from the same fish.

Q: What happens if a shipment arrives outside its temperature specification?

The logger record settles it. We review the trace with you against the agreed limits, and where the excursion happened on our side of the agreed Incoterm we handle it as a claim — replacement, credit or a re-shipment against the next batch. This is the reason every consignment carries a logger rather than only the ones we expect to be scrutinised.
