La Marina Foods does its bit to go green

La Marina stocks renowned Loch Duart salmon, something Rick Stein, leading UK chef, describes as "the closest I have ever seen to wild salmon". This is because the salmon are fed by hand, so supervisors can check the stock, keeping an eye on the salmon's feeding and swimming patterns. They believe in low volume, high quality production, working on the ratio of 98.5 percent water to 1.5 percent fish. The best welfare and environmental methods are used – they opt for fish feed from sustainable sources − to produce salmon which taste outstandingly good. Loch Duart salmon even makes the grade for sushi.

La Peche, which has been trading under La Marina Foods for close on a decade and has grown into one of the most popular and largest suppliers of shellfish and fresh fish in and around Gauteng.

La Peche's commitment to SASSI stems from consumer pressure and sustainable seafood choices. "We undertake to act responsibly within the fishing industry and to source where possible the most sustainable sea foods," says La Marina's General Manager, Edmund Pretorius.
La Peche offers services including filleting and portioning fish, cleaning calamari and shucking oysters. La Peche now also stocks legal and sustainably farmed Abalone.

The Mauritian sea bass that La Marina stocks from Ferme Marine de Mahebourg offers similar green credentials. Its hatchery adheres to strict compliance guidelines for organic fish farming, staying away from antibiotics and growth boosters. Likewise, La Marina's yellow fin tuna is supplied by Culimer, a company which specialises in high quality seafood, without forgetting about their green responsibilities, as they work closely with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
