Freshdi lists Other Flat Fish suppliers from 3 countries, led by South Africa at 50.0%, as of 16 November 2026.
Only 4 suppliers are currently active in the Other Flat Fish category, and just half of them updated their listings in the last 30 days. This means the supply is stable but not dynamic—buyers should expect to engage directly with each supplier, as there’s little new content to browse. The low update rate suggests suppliers are maintaining consistent offerings rather than frequently adjusting to market shifts. There are 5 active listings for Other Flat Fish, which is a small but focused catalog. For buyers with specific size, packaging, or quality needs, this number offers a clear starting point—though not every variation may be available, so a direct inquiry is often the next step. Three countries supply this category, with South Africa accounting for exactly half of the exporters. This balanced distribution means buyers have a few options beyond South Africa, which can be useful for diversifying risk or sourcing different regional traits in the flat fish.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Other Flat Fish had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, after zero the month before. Only a handful of new listings appeared, so the catalog remains largely unchanged from the previous month. That means buyers see mostly the same offers, with only minor updates in price or pack size. Compare the listing date when evaluating offers to confirm which one is closer to current availability.
Is the market busy?
0 of the 4 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all are long-standing. The pool is small and stable, with every seller having a history of consistent listings. That makes it easier to assess each supplier’s reliability over time, but limits the chance to find new alternatives. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |
| FAS | Incoterm | The seller places the goods alongside the vessel at the port of loading. |
| T/T | Payment term | A bank transfer, often a deposit before production and the balance against documents. |
| L/C | Payment term | A letter of credit, under which the buyer's bank pays once the shipping documents match its terms. |
| D/P | Payment term | Documents against payment, where the buyer gets the shipping documents once it pays. |
| D/A | Payment term | Documents against acceptance, where the buyer gets the documents by accepting to pay later. |
| CAD | Payment term | Cash against documents, where payment is made when the shipping documents are presented. |
| Bank Transfer | Payment term | A direct transfer between bank accounts, agreed in the contract. |
| Escrow | Payment term | A third party holds the payment until the buyer confirms delivery. |
| Cash | Payment term | Payment in cash, usually only for small or local orders. |
Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
