With suppliers spread across South Africa, China, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Indonesia, buyers gain access to diverse regional supply chains that can offset seasonal disruptions or quality inconsistencies. The high rate of phone and work-email verification—58% and 52% respectively—reduces the risk of unreliable or fraudulent suppliers, while the wide reference price range from 640 to 600,000 per MT signals that price is highly dependent on fish type, quality, and origin, so buyers must verify specs to avoid costly misalignment.
