Seafood

Processing, freezing and export of pelagic and demersal fish from Saint-Louis — FAO 34 fishing zone.

Seafood division

From the pirogue to the container, without a break in the cold chain

Sky Blu International operates a processing and freezing plant at the Goxu Mbacc fishing quay in Saint-Louis, one of the major small-scale fishing hubs in West Africa. We buy directly from the pirogues, process on site, and ship by refrigerated truck or reefer container.

Packing

20 kg cartons, food-grade liner, labelling with species, grade and dates.

Freezing

Blast freezing down to −35 °C, then cold-store holding.

In the sorting room

The raw product, untouched

These photographs were taken in our Saint-Louis plant. Our buyers would rather see the fish as it is than a catalogue image.

Quality and traceability

What we can prove

In this trade a buyer can only verify three things: the grade announced, how the product holds up on arrival, and whether the lead time is met. Everything else is talk.

  • Senegalese health approval no. 002/16/C for the Saint-Louis plant.
  • Lot-level traceability: freezing and expiry dates on every carton, tied back to the landing day.
  • Trained, equipped staff: coats, boots, hairnets, gloves, hygiene rules applied on the floor.

Additional certifications. HACCP and further export approvals are being put together; we do not display them until they are granted.
