Quality

Cold from the first minute.

Fresh fish is simple: keep it cold, handle it little, know where it came from. These are the four things we check on every order.

  • Temperature

    Checked when the fish arrives and again before it leaves.

  • Storage

    Fresh on crushed ice, frozen in a separate cold room.

  • Packaging

    Sealed portions in insulated boxes with ice packs.

  • Traceability

    Species, catch date and source on every box.

From whole fish to product

Four steps, no shortcuts.

The same fish you saw on the ice, followed from the crate to the box that reaches your kitchen.

About

Barafu means ice.

The name is the promise. From the moment the fish leaves the water to the moment it reaches your kitchen, it never stops being cold.
