ShambaFresh connects buyers with quality seafood sourced from Tanzania’s coastal fishing communities and supply networks — prawns, octopus, lobster, squid, crab and fish — serving hotels, restaurants, distributors and international markets. Fresh, chilled and frozen, graded to spec.
Prawns are one of the most versatile lines we handle — in demand across hotel kitchens, seafood restaurants and export markets alike.
Octopus is one of Tanzania’s best-known coastal catches and a natural export line.
Lobster is our premium line.
Squid — known locally as ngisi — is a high-turnover line that works as hard on a hotel buffet as it does on an export pack.
Mud crab (mangrove crab) is a premium coastal line with strong demand in resorts, seafood restaurants and export markets.
Fresh fish is the backbone of coastal supply.
Our seafood is sourced right along Tanzania’s Indian Ocean coast — north to south and across to Zanzibar — through coastal fishing communities and supply networks. Working across multiple grounds is how we keep supply steady through the season and honour standing orders.
Practical, factual guides for buyers — how sourcing works, fresh versus frozen for hotels, and how to source and import Tanzanian seafood.
