Founded in 2011, the company has rapidly grown into one of the most advanced and respected players in the European aquaculture industry. Strategically located in Larymna, Philosofish leverages the pristine waters of the Aegean Sea and cutting-edge technologies to produce high-quality fish for global markets.

Core Business and Product Portfolio

Philosofish operates across the entire aquaculture value chain—from broodstock and hatchery management to grow-out, harvesting, processing, packaging, and global distribution. The company’s operations are designed for sustainability, efficiency, and premium quality assurance.

Main product categories include:

• Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax): Fresh and frozen formats available
• Sea Bream (Sparus aurata): One of the company's most exported products
• Pagrus (Pagrus pagrus): Fresh and frozen high-value red seabream
• Meagre (Argyrosomus regius): A rising species known for its rich texture and nutritional value

These products are offered whole, gutted, or filleted, and are shipped to customers in Europe, the Middle East, and North America.

Specialization and Unique Value Proposition

Philosofish distinguishes itself through its commitment to sustainable aquaculture. The company was one of the first in Europe to adopt 100% sustainable aquaculture nets in partnership with the industry’s leading suppliers. Their farming techniques are centered on fish welfare, traceability, and low environmental impact.

They also maintain full control over production by operating their own hatcheries and feed management systems, ensuring traceability and quality consistency throughout the supply chain.
