Big Fish Infrastructure

Located in Himmafushi island, our two factories were built to enhance the efficiency of tuna value addition and export from the Maldives. From the initial receiving through processing, packaging, storage, and logistics, our infrastructure and machinery are designed to deliver premium-grade tuna at the most competitive prices.

Private harbour

Our facility benefits from our private harbor and direct access, streamlining the transfer of tuna from boats to production. This proximity significantly reduces handling, thereby enhancing both the quality of the tuna and operational efficiency. The ease and speed of this process ensure the maintenance of peak freshness and texture, while also making us the preferred partners of fishers who benefit directly from the saved time.

With our second factory operational since February 2024, we  are now able to receive 60  tonnes of tuna in a single shift.

Production capacity

Our facilities are equipped to process and pack 40 tonnes of tuna per shift. We handle skipjack and yellowfin tuna in formats including fresh, ultra-low temperature super frozen, CO and filtered smoke treated, as well as standard frozen. We produce tuna products for the food service sector and retail-ready products.


We have the capability for blast freezing 45 metric tonnes of tuna daily, achieving temperatures ranging from -25°C, -40°C, to -60°C.  Additionally, we are equipped to produce 130 tonnes of flake ice and 280 tonnes of desalinated water daily, which we supply to the fishers.

Cold chain

At Big Fish, our cold chain is initiated the instant tuna is captured, ensuring immediate temperature control. We produce both fresh and saltwater flake and shell ice, guaranteeing ample supply for our vessels throughout their journey.


Equipped with advanced sensors, climate control, alarm, and redundancy systems, our cold rooms, blast freezers, and storage facilities maintain precise temperatures continuously, upholding the highest standards of freshness and quality.

Equipment

We've equipped our facilities with world class machinery and technology, ensuring every phase of production meets our high standards.


This investment enables us to fulfill our commitment to quality and reliability, offering our customers the finest tuna products, processed and delivered with unmatched precision.
