Frequently asked questions about our topics

Who isLocalFish?

We are a team of entrepreneurs, nature lovers, climate experts, fish enthusiasts and makers. We founded LocalFish in 2021 with the aim of providing an answer to real global problems. In doing so, we show that innovation, economy and ecology go hand in hand. Sustainability is not just a buzzword for us, it is deeply rooted in our DNA. Nature our teacher - we want to enjoy nature, not destroy it and learn from it. What do we do? Quite simply! We breed fish. How do we do it? With attention to detail, enthusiasm and care.

How do the goods stay fresh?

Our fish are freshly caught and come directly to you without long import or delivery routes. This is how we guarantee maximum quality and freshness. To secure the cold chain, we pack our products with sustainable cooling pads that protect them from external influences. As the goods are produced and dispatched on the same day, we can always guarantee the best possible
quality.

What does Real Impact stand for?

At Localfish, we rely on a sustainable circular system that takes equal account of the environment, animal welfare and people. Our local fish farms work in a resource-conserving and CO₂-neutral way, with minimal land consumption. Through innovative water reuse and our zero-waste principle, we reduce waste to a minimum and conserve natural resources. In this way, we create real added value for nature and society - far beyond traditional fish farming.

How long does shipping take?

Once you have placed your order, you will usually receive your goods delivered directly to your home within 48 hours. We only produce after we receive your order, so you always get the freshest and best quality.

Why is Localfish healthier?

At Localfish, we do not use drugs in our aquaculture to ensure the health of our fish. Instead, we rely on natural breeding methods and controlled environments. We operate our own hatcheries where the fish grow up under optimal conditions from the very beginning. Thanks to this sustainable and gentle husbandry, we can ensure that our fish are free from harmful substances such as medicines and microplastics. In this way, we guarantee you the freshest and most natural fish - without any unnecessary additives.

Where does the fish food come from?

Conventional fish feed is often based on wild-caught fish, which pollutes the oceans and promotes bycatch. LocalFish takes a different approach: our feed contains no catch or bycatch and is made from carefully selected by-products of other industries.

Together with a Swiss feed manufacturer, we have developed a sustainable recipe that guarantees the highest quality - for healthy fish and an intact environment.
