About Seafood Souq
Seafood Souq is a Dubai-based business-to-business marketplace for the seafood trade. It connects seafood suppliers, such as fishermen, farms, processors and exporters, with buyers including restaurants, hotels, retailers and distributors, and it supports the trade with logistics, payments and traceability.
The global seafood supply chain is long and complex. Fish may be caught or farmed in one country, processed in another and sold in a third, passing through many intermediaries along the way. This can make pricing opaque and makes it difficult for buyers to know where their seafood came from and whether it was sourced responsibly.
Seafood Souq's platform lets buyers browse seafood from verified suppliers, compare products and prices, and place orders online. For suppliers, it offers access to a wider range of buyers, including international customers they might not otherwise reach.
Traceability is a central part of its value. By recording information about the origin of seafood, how it was caught or farmed and how it moved through the supply chain, the platform can help buyers confirm product quality and sustainability. This matters for businesses that want to avoid illegally caught fish or products with poor sustainability credentials.
Seafood is highly perishable, so logistics and cold chain management are essential. The company supports the movement of products from suppliers to buyers, helping maintain quality during transport.
Payment solutions help reduce risk in cross-border trade, where buyers and suppliers may not know each other and need assurance that payment and delivery will happen as agreed.
The UAE imports large quantities of seafood to serve its population, restaurants and hotels, and Dubai's role as a trade hub makes it a natural base for a regional seafood marketplace.
Sustainability in fisheries has become a global concern, with overfishing and illegal fishing threatening marine ecosystems. Transparent supply chains are seen as one way to support responsible practices.
Seafood Souq brings digital trade and traceability to a traditional industry, and Startups UAE lists it among Dubai's B2B food marketplaces.
