Information:
The
Atlantic Seafood Company Gambia Limited (TASC) was registered in
Banjul in 2004 by
an entrepreneur based in the Hague in southern Holland named Mr.
Michel Huijser Beheermaatschappij.
The fisheries firm,
which uses its own HACCP compliant factory, does not operate its own
trawlers but prefers to buy its supplies of ocean fresh pelagic fish from
artisanal fishermen who operate about 550 pirogues. The catch is
then supplied to a middleman who then stores it in a cold room
before transporting it onto the company. The firm then
proceeds to prepare, process, bone fillet, IQF blast freeze and pack
its fish ready for export to
Western Europe and South Africa.
Their frozen fish distribution in Europe is handled by their Dutch based wholesale
parent company called Network Seafood. They supply a number of wholesalers
with their fish products, from Tropical Atlantic Sole to White
Shrimp, who are resident in the Netherlands, Belgium Germany
and Spain.
Fish Export Supplies:
• Cuttle Fish (gutted)
• Giant Tiger Shrimp (whole)
• Octopus
• Spiny Rock Lobster (whole or tails)
• Tropical Atlantic Sole (fillet / whole)
•
Turbot
• White Shrimp (peeled / unpeeled)
Quality Control:
Atlantic Seafood's hygiene and safety standards operate under the
seven HACCP principles. To keep informed about any new regulations
TASC cooperates and communicates with the Ministry of Fisheries &
Water Resources in Banjul. They are also frequently visited by
European Union inspectors to keep them abreast of the latest
developments as well as train their members of staff frequently.
