Sourcing & Quality (Trust First)
Q: Where does Fisherman Isle source its fish?
A: Fisherman Isle sources the majority of its seafood from the coastal waters of Sri Lanka. The Indian Ocean is known for its rich marine biodiversity, producing high-quality tuna, reef fish and shellfish varieties that are widely appreciated for flavour and texture.
Our products are carefully selected, processed to export standards, and shipped to the UK using temperature-controlled logistics to ensure quality is maintained from source to delivery.
Q: Is your seafood fresh or frozen?
A: We supply both fresh and frozen seafood. We also do have a range of Dry Fish in our stocks as well.
Our frozen products are blast frozen shortly after catch in Sri Lanka to preserve peak freshness, texture and nutritional value.
We also offer fresh seafood that is carefully sourced, packed, shipped and sold fresh under strict cold-chain conditions. From Sri Lanka to the UK, temperatures are controlled to ensure freshness is maintained.
Whether you choose fresh or frozen, you can expect high standards and consistent quality.
Q: How is your fish transported from Sri Lanka to the UK?
A: All seafood is handled through certified cold-chain logistics. From processing facilities in Sri Lanka to UK distribution, products remain under controlled temperatures to protect quality and food safety.
Shipments comply with UK import regulations and hygiene standards, ensuring seafood arrives in excellent condition.
Q: Do you follow UK food safety regulations?
A: Yes. All imported seafood complies with UK food safety and hygiene requirements. We work with approved suppliers and maintain strict handling procedures to ensure our products meet regulatory standards for sale in the UK.
