Kingfish (Hiramasa)

Seriola lalandi is known as hiramasa, yellowtail, and amberjack. The Kingfish Company yellowtail is a high-grade sashimi classic that also takes well to cooked methods. It is produced using highly sustainable, land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) at its innovative facility in the Netherlands. This method allows for precise control over water quality, eliminates the risk of escapes and disease transmission to wild populations, and avoids the environmental issues often associated with traditional sea-cage farming, such as water pollution and reliance on wild-caught fish for feed. The company operates entirely on renewable energy, primarily wind and solar power, and uses seawater to conserve freshwater resources. Wastewater is thoroughly treated before discharge, ensuring minimal environmental impact and protection of local biodiversity. The Kingfish Company’s operations are certified by leading sustainability standards, including the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), and Friend of the Sea (FOS), and align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Their approach is widely recognized as setting a new benchmark for responsible, premium seafood production.
