From day one, quality assurance has underpinned every aspect of our Vicfish operations. We take seriously our commitment to food safety management and sustainability, and in 2009 Vicfish became the first company in the world to achieve Naturland Wildfish certification and meet Naturland standards for Sustainable Capture Fishery.

The Nile Perch, or Lates niloticus, is a highly nutritious and succulent fish from the fresh waters of Lake Victoria. Retaining high-moisture content even when cooked, the Nile Perch is low in calories and rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, providing an excellent source of nutrition and protein.
