Exotic fish division

Tasty Bake (Exotic Fish Division) began importing fresh fish in the 1990’s having recognized that we were heading toward a global market. They built a reputation for quality, size graded fish and today regularly import species such as snappers from Australia, swordfish from the Indian Ocean, tuna & marlin from Oman, Maldives, Indonesia and halibuts from North America.

Most of Tasty Bake’s customers have been quick to realise that by offering a more comprehensive range of top quality and competitive priced species, would broaden their own customer base too. The new textures and flavours of these foreign species attract new clientele and encourage them to improvise. They also realised that sourcing of exotics species, air-freighting and documentation of the consignments could be left completely to Tasty Bake who did all that for them – leaving them to concentrate on selling the fish and attracting more customers.
