Meet our fishermenΒ 

Our fishing community are at the heart of our company, without them we have no product and no story.

We love working with people who share our values. Our fishing vessels are largely family-owned, truly sustainable, from their fishing practices through to protecting the future of our industry. The boats in our small fleet range from between 10 to 30 metres in size, and focus on quality over quantity. We have great admiration for all our vessel owners, crew and their families. Kingfisher Fresh works only with Irish fishing vessels, to supply wild, Irish seafood, caught fresh from Irish coastal waters.

Our priority is to secure a viable future for our fishermen.Β
