Buying at landing
We select lots directly from the pirogues at the fish auction, checking freshness crate by crate.
Saint-Louis, Senegal / Exporting since 2020
The fish leaves the pirogue.Thirty minutes later, it is on the production line.
Our plant sits on the landing quay at Goxu Mbacc, Saint-Louis. No truck, no waiting: the fish goes straight onto the production line — sorting, grading, packing and freezing down to −35 °C.

Saint-Louis plant
Our core business
Pelagic and demersal fish, graded and frozen on the quay
Our plant sits on the landing quay itself. Between the pirogue and the carton there is no intermediate transport and no break in the cold chain. That is what explains how our product holds up on arrival, after several days on the road.
Sorting and grading
By species and by size — P, M ou G — in a stainless-steel sorting room, by a team trained in food hygiene.
Freezing
Blast freezing down to −35 °C once the fish has been packed. Freezing date and expiry date printed on every carton.
Shipping
Reefer container, or truck to Guinea, Mali and Burkina Faso, with the complete documentary set for customs clearance.
Regular offer
Ten species all year round, five with the season
White and black horse mackerel, mackerel, sardinella, pelon, lagne lagne, mixed frying fish, black mullet, sompate and plat plat are handled all year. Octopus, cuttlefish, ribbonfish, sole and croaker follow the season.
The Sky Blu carton
What is written on the box is what is inside
Every carton carries the species, the size grade, the freezing date and the expiry date. Every lot stays tied to its landing day.
If a question comes up on a delivered pallet, we can trace it back to the fishing day. It is the only serious way to work with buyers who resell downstream.

Placing an order
Three exchanges, and the truck loads
We work with wholesalers, fish traders and importers. The chain is short, deliberately.
1. You specify
Species, size grade, tonnage, port or city of destination. Four details are all we need to start.
2. We quote
Firm price, availability date and shipping terms.
3. We load
Picking, palletising, joint counting and loading, with the full documentary set.
The Sky Blu group
Two businesses, one standard
Seafood is our most visible activity, but international trade is the founding business of the group — with its own teams and its own clients. It is not a side service of the Saint-Louis plant.

One plant, one team
Local employment is not a slogan here: it is our production tool
Behind every carton shipped there is a whole team — for the most part women from Saint-Louis, trained in sorting, grading and food hygiene.
Senegalese small-scale fishing supports entire neighbourhoods. Our job is to give it a stable, fair and regular outlet.
