Freshly processed frozen Asian Seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) fillets by Zhuhai Chenghuifeng Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd., premium quality export product from China.

According to the FAO/GLOBEFISH Quarterly Market Report, prices for European Seabass (Dicentrarhus labrax) have surged sharply in early 2025 — exceeding EUR 16.00 per kg in some markets. The increase reflects tight supply caused by high summer mortality in 2024, particularly affecting larger sizes.

Despite the elevated prices, European demand remains strong — led by foodservice sectors in France, the UK, and Italy — as consumers continue favoring high-protein, health-oriented diets. With production limitations in Europe, importers are now turning to Asia for stable, competitively priced alternatives.

This shift highlights the growing market potential for Asian Seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus), a farm-raised species prized for its clean flavor, firm white flesh, and adaptability to a wide range of dishes.

At Zhuhai Chenghuifeng Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (CHF Seafood), we are proud to supply a complete portfolio of frozen farm-raised fish, processed under HACCP, BAP, ISO, and FDA certifications in our EU-approved facility (Plant No. 4404/02003).

Our key export species include:

  • Frozen Seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus)

  • Frozen Barramundi (Lates calcarifer)

  • Frozen Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

  • Frozen Red Drum Fish (Sciaenops ocellatus)

  • Frozen Sea Bream (Sparus aurata)

  • Frozen Red Snapper (Lutjanus campechanus)

  • Frozen Brown Croaker (Protonibea diacanthus)

In addition to these core species, CHF Seafood also produces value-added products such as Sauerkraut Fish, Squirrel Fish, and Kung Fu Fish, which are increasingly popular in both retail and restaurant markets.

As European seabass prices remain high, Asian Seabass offers a reliable and cost-effective solution — supported by consistent aquaculture supply chains and flexible processing options tailored to customer needs.
