The only aquaculture in Decentralised Administration of Peloponnese, Western Greece and Ionian area that produces premium organic products
Sustainability is at the core of their philosophy at Kefalonia Fisheries. They offer a range of sustainably raised and organically farmed Sea Bass and Sea Bream guaranteeing that their fish are raised in the cleanest of environments and produced in a sustainable way - which means they are good for their customers and good for the environment. They understand that they are beholden to the ocean and they are responsible for its care, so they work to make the gentlest impression possible and strive every day to leave it to future generations in a better state than when they began. Their focus is on encouraging a cleaner, safer and healthier world for all.
The company has acquired the following certificates to reach their objectives:
- Friend of the Sea.
- Global G.A.P..
- ISO 14001.
Holding these certificates, Kefalonia Fisheries makes sure niche markets have their trusted supplier, and the ocean life has its trustful advocate.
