Our story
Built on the docks.
The story of EatFish — a seafood marketplace from Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu.
Who we are
From the shore, for the shore
For generations, fishing has been the lifeblood of Tamil Nadu's coastal communities. But the people who bring the catch in have rarely decided what it sells for — layers of middlemen have.
EatFish was born on the docks of Thoothukudi to change that. We are fishermen, seafood experts, engineers and advocates on one team, building a marketplace where the people who catch and farm seafood sell directly to the people who eat it — on an app, on the web and on WhatsApp, in the language you prefer.
What drives us
One mission, six commitments
Women & youth empowerment
Nurturing coastal talent with education, skills and entrepreneurship.
Direct, transparent trade
Sellers set fair prices and buyers know exactly who they buy from.
Jobs for the coast
Opportunities across processing, value-added products, logistics and technology.
Ocean & climate
Sustainable practices and climate resilience for communities that depend on the sea.
Consumer education
Helping buyers understand freshness, seasonality and safe handling.
UN SDG aligned
Our work maps to the Sustainable Development Goals — life below water, decent work, zero hunger.
Research & collaboration
A sustainable future for the blue economy
Waste to wealth
Marine by-products become fishmeal, organic fertilisers and collagen — nothing the sea gives us is wasted.

Seafood-based pet nutrition, developed together with animal nutritionists.

Cutting the supply chain's carbon footprint with shorter routes and eco-friendly packaging.
