Responsible seafood and standards

For DC Fishing, responsible seafood means handling the work properly across the supply chain.

It means knowing who we work with, respecting seasonality, protecting product quality, meeting the required standards, reducing waste where possible, and communicating clearly with buyers.

Seasonality affects what is available, what sizes can be supplied, what specifications are possible, and when the product may land.

Clear communication around seasonality helps buyers plan better and avoid unrealistic expectations.

Product quality is protected through careful handling, icing, temperature control, suitable packaging, cold chain care, processing when required, and clear communication throughout the order process.

Different requirements may apply to vessels, factories, cold stores, service providers and DC Fishing directly.

These may include DFFE requirements, NRCS approval, SAMSA vessel safety requirements, HACCP systems, import permits, export permits and relevant food safety checks.

Only once the relationship, permission and logo usage rights have been confirmed.

We do not display logos or make certification claims unless they are accurate and approved.
