Fishta Seafood, the premium seafood arm of the renowned Santeh Feeds Corp., is setting a new "gold standard" for food safety in the Philippines. Backed by 35 years of aquaculture expertise, Fishta Seafood has launched its 100% Traceable and Locally Sourced (TLS) initiative, ensuring that every fish, from the farm to the family table, is raised with scientific precision and zero antibiotics.
For Filipino households, this means peace of mind at every meal. Fishta Seafood was created for families who want access to seafood that is not only delicious, but also safe, responsibly raised, and easy to trust, whether it is for a simple weekday ulam or a special weekend dish shared with loved ones.
The Pompano Standard: Redefining Premium Seafood
As the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) works to solve fingerling scarcity, Fishta Seafood is leading the charge in making Pompano a high-value, tastier alternative to the Philippine Bangus. By raising Golden Pompano, Fishta Seafood is able to offer a product that is consistently flavorful and richer in texture.
Loved by chefs and home cooks alike, pompano is known for its naturally buttery taste and clean, mild flavor, even with minimal seasoning. Unlike fish that can taste muddy or overly fishy, Fishta Seafood’s pompano is versatile and family-friendly, making it ideal for Filipino favorites such as sinigang, inihaw, or paksiw, as well as simple steamed, pan-fried or oven-baked meals.
Raised with Care, from Farm to Family Table
To ensure peak quality during its 6 to 8 month growth period, the fish are raised in low-density pens (8,000 fish per 10x10m cage) to reduce stress. Fed exclusively with nutrient-rich Tateh Feeds, and housed in the optimal waters of Silanguin Bay, Zambales where salinity and oxygen levels are continuously monitored to bolster fishes’ natural immune systems.
These careful farming practices result in fish that are healthier, cleaner, and better tasting. Less stress means firmer meat, fewer off-flavors, and a naturally sweeter profile, qualities that even children and first-time seafood eaters can enjoy.
Innovation in Harvesting: Freshness You Can Taste at Home
Fishta Seafood employs advanced harvesting and freezing technology to preserve the natural quality of its seafood. The process begins with humane fish stunning using zero to minus one degree Celsius slurry ice water, allowing the fish to calmly lose consciousness. This prevents the struggle that typically degrades meat quality, ensuring a cleaner texture and better flavor.
From the moment of harvest, Fishta Seafood maintains a strict cold-chain process at zero to five degrees Celsius to slow bacterial growth during handling and transport. The final step is blast freezing, which rapidly brings temperatures down to minus eighteen degrees Celsius or lower. This locks in moisture, texture, and nutrients by preventing the formation of large ice crystals.
For home cooks, this means fish that cooks like fresh, with no mushy texture, no watery juices, and no unpleasant odor. From thawing to plating, Fishta Seafood delivers consistent, reliable results in every dish. They are Fishta Seafood’s promise to Filipino consumers that the seafood they bring home meets strict safety standards from sourcing to processing. It is a fish you can confidently serve to your family.
Fishta Seafood also partners with Bluer Seas Philippines, a non-profit organization dedicated to seafood sustainability and ethical sourcing, reinforcing its commitment to protecting marine resources for future generations.
