Our fish are hand filleted and trimmed by highly skilled personnel. Each fillet is individually inspected before it is packed ensuring that our customers receive a consistent product.

ii. Naturally Farmed

Our fish are no different from their wild cousins. We have not used selective breeding techniques to enhance specific traits. We do not use chemicals nor pharmaceuticals during on-growing to either promote growth or control disease.

iii. Pristine Environment

We chose Lake Kariba for its exceptional water quality. Fed from the spectacular Victoria Falls, deep in the barren Zambezi Valley, this huge lake has neither industries nor significant populations that could possibly cause contamination.

iv. Wholesome Product

Our fillets are free from colorants, preservatives and flavorings. They are low in fat, high in protein and contain Omega-3 oils.

v. Traceable

Lake Harvest itself breeds, rears, processes and ships each and every Lake Harvest fish. We monitor and record daily every fish through our farm from its parentage and all its stages of growth right through to our customers.

vi. Hygienic Processing

Lake Harvest's processing facility has been custom built to the highest world standards. A dedicated Quality Assurance team, an in-house laboratory and external monthly audits work hand-in-hand to guarantee our food security. Every employee is trained in hygiene and food safety.

vii. Freshness

Our fish are held in ideal conditions using water, temperature and oxygen control, right up to the point where they enter the factory. From sedating the fish before processing, to the final product is less than two hours.

viii. Grain Fed

Our fish feed is cereal based and contains no GMO crops, made on site under our own supervision. It is a balanced, almost wholly vegetarian, diet. It contains no mammalian nor avian by-products. It contains no growth promoters nor artificial additives. The fish-meal is included in the diet at less than 10% and is from a sustainable fishery.

ix. Fresh and Frozen

All of our products are available as fresh and frozen. Fresh products are precisely temperature controlled to within ½°C and available as chilled, superchilled or safechilled according to our customers specific requirements. Frozen products are kept below -20°C.

x. Plate Sized

Our fillets are farmed specifically to provide an attractive complete fillet for one serving. They are further graded and packed to give our customers full portion control.

xi. Value Adding

We are continually working together with our customers such that we are positioned to exploit the great value adding potential of tilapia. We have specific grading, packaging and ingredient addition expertise on hand.

xii. Versatile

Our tilapia can be found in the finest haute cuisine restaurants, as well as being perfect as a fish supper for the kids or barbecue for friends.

xiii. Suitability

Tilapia is fundamentally a good product to fit well into the European white fish market. It is an excellent substitute for the traditional fish of cod, haddock, pollock, hake and herring.
