We deliver every Wednesday between 5pm and 10pm. Order before Sunday evening 8pm to receive your fish box the following Wednesday.

Yes, you have until Sunday evening 8:00 PM to change or cancel your order.

When you place your order, you can indicate where we can leave the box or whether we can deliver it to your neighbours. Remember: the faster the fish is cooled, the better. We cannot guarantee freshness if the box is left outside for too long.

We deliver throughout the Netherlands, except the Wadden Islands.

Wij willen graag een zo verantwoord mogelijk product aanbieden. Dat geldt ook voor de verpakking. Daarom hebben we ervoor gekozen om de verzendkosten deels door te bereken.

Deze kosten bestaan uit:

• Speciale recyclebare kartonnen doos
• Aluminium isolatiehoos - bijna duurzaam, we werken aan een papieren versie
• Biologisch afbreekbare coolpack, die je kunt hergebruiken of als je er klaar mee bent in de plantenbak leggen.

Op dit moment berekenen we maar een deel van de kosten door. Daarnaast blijven we investeren om het product nog duurzamer te maken.

We pay attention to four important aspects of sustainability:

1. Catch methods: We choose techniques such as Sumwing and Flyshoot. These methods are more selective and have less impact on the seabed.
2. Type of vessels: We like to work with innovative fishing vessels, such as the MDV2 - an electrically powered vessel that uses up to 80% less fuel than traditional fishing boats.
3. Seasonal fish: We respect the natural cycle of fish. This means that we do not catch fish during spawning or when they have roe. This is not only better for the fish stock, but also ensures better quality - fish that has roe or has just had roe is less tasty.
4. Local origin: We consciously choose fish from the North Sea and the IJsselmeer. This fish literally swims along our coast and does not have to travel long distances before it ends up on your plate. In this way, we not only reduce our ecological footprint, but also guarantee the ultimate freshness of our fish.

This four-pronged approach of sustainable fishing methods, modern vessels, respect for the season and local origin not only reduces the environmental impact, but also produces top-quality fish.

We have done extensive research into this with a temperature and humidity meter. We have tested various sustainable alternatives, including cardboard insulation bags and biodegradable cooling packs. Unfortunately, none of these options could guarantee the desired cooling temperature - not even in combination with each other. Food safety is paramount with fresh fish, so we cannot compromise on this. We continue to actively search for more sustainable packaging options that do meet our strict requirements. Do you have a tip for us? We would love to hear from you!

The aluminum bag can be reused for refrigerated transport. You can empty the coolpacks in the sink and put the empty bag in the plastic waste.

We share the objectives of MSC and ASC, but go a step further. We apply our own strict sustainability criteria that cover four aspects:

1. Sustainable fishing methods such as Sumwing and Flyshoot that are more selective and put less strain on the seabed
2. Collaboration with innovative fishermen who use energy-efficient vessels
3. Respect the season - no catch during spawning season or when fish have spawned
4. Focus on local fish from the North Sea and the IJsselmeer, which minimizes transport distances

With this approach we not only guarantee sustainability, but also the highest quality fish from fishermen we know personally.

Animal welfare in fish is a subject that is receiving increasing attention. Although there is not as much scientific research as with land animals, we can clearly see that the way of fishing has a major influence on the stress and physical condition of the fish. That is why we consciously choose fishing methods that respect the welfare of the fish as much as possible:

• The flyshoot method uses a long rope that runs along the seabed to guide fish, rather than chase them, which causes minimal stress and damage.
• Fishing in smaller numbers and at a lower speed causes less stress and damage to the fish.
• We take seasons into account so that we do not disturb fish during their spawning season.

This attention to welfare is reflected in the quality: a fish that has had less stress and damage has firmer meat and a better taste. In this way, animal welfare and quality go hand in hand.

Wageningen University is currently conducting research into the relationship between catching methods and animal welfare. We are closely following these developments and adapting our methods where possible.

Thanks to our ordering model, we buy exactly enough fish. This prevents waste.

Absolutely! Our experienced fishmonger Pieter knows exactly where the best fish comes from. The fishing method and origin are stated on each packaging label.

Unfortunately, that is not possible at the moment. We do not use shellfish as standard due to possible allergies.

Unfortunately, that is not possible. We do encourage you to try fish that you did not like before. With our fresh quality and new recipes, you might be pleasantly surprised!

We will soon offer this option.

By purchasing directly from the auction and eliminating middlemen, we can offer fresh, quality fish at a competitive price.

Not yet standard, but we are happy to create a custom gift voucher for you!

Our fish is very fresh, which makes it suitable for raw consumption in principle. However, because it remains a fresh product, we cannot give specific advice on this. The decision to eat fish raw and the responsibility for this lies with you as a consumer. Pay close attention to the type of fish and ensure hygienic preparation if you choose to eat it raw.

We guarantee constant cooling from the catch to your door. Our special packaging with vacuum sealing, aluminum cooling bag and cooling elements ensures this.

The shelf life is stated on each package. On average, fresh fish can be kept for up to 6 days in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer.

We are available during the week from 08:30 to 22:00 via WhatsApp or email ( vis@de-visman.com ). We aim to respond within an hour.
