A seafood trade partner
you can trust
Founded in 2009, DC Fishing is a Cape Town seafood supplier for trade buyers who need reliable products and clear guidance on availability, timing, and product options.
We work with wholesalers, distributors, fish shops, food service suppliers, and international customers who need seafood sourced, handled, processed, packed, and supplied with experience and care.
Our supply relationships include access to fishing vessels and trusted partners across the local seafood trade. This supports a more connected process from catch and landing through processing, packaging, logistics, and delivery.
Cape hake at the centre
of our seafood range
Cape hake sits at the centre of the DC Fishing range. It is our primary species and one of South Africa’s most important commercial fish species, giving buyers a core product with strong trade relevance.
Alongside hake, DC Fishing works with a wider range of fresh, frozen, and export-ready seafood when available, including yellowfin tuna, longfin tuna, yellowtail, kingklip, snoek, sole, kabeljou, angelfish, and selected speciality fish.
Where relevant, products may be supplied as whole fish, fillets, loins, portions, or packaged seafood, depending on the species, order requirements, processing availability, and destination market.
Standards that support responsible seafood trade
Excellent seafood depends on more than the catch. It depends on responsible sourcing, careful handling, cold chain control, hygiene standards, food safety, accurate documentation, and clear communication, all of which help buyers receive dependable products.
DC Fishing works with approved processing facilities, logistics partners, and refrigerated transport providers to help maintain product integrity from landing to delivery, supporting buyers who need consistent quality.
At DC Fishing, these standards protect product quality, support buyer confidence, and help secure the future of South African seafood for customers who rely on a trusted supply.

What our customers can expect from us
We keep you informed
Buyers need clear information before making decisions. We keep communication practical and direct so you know what is available, what needs to be checked, and what the next step looks like.
We build trade relationships
We are not here for one-off transactions. The better we understand your business, your product needs, and the way you prefer to work, the better we can support you over time.
We protect the product
Good seafood depends on care. We pay attention to handling, cold chain, paperwork, and delivery because those details affect the condition of the order when it reaches you.
We respect the ocean
The ocean is part of our daily work, our story, and the future of this industry. We work with seasonal availability and responsible seafood practices because there is no seafood trade without a healthy ocean.
We grow
our people
Seafood trade takes knowledge, care, and pride in the work. We believe in training and supporting our team because when our people understand the work properly, buyers feel it in the service, handling, and follow-up.
