HARBOUR DISTRIBUTIONHARBOUR DISTRIBUTIONHarbour Distribution supplies live crustaceans and shellfish alongside fresh fish from Dutch and Belgian auctions and trusted partner farms — combined into a single shipment, backed by full export documentation.
One registered office, three operational platforms across Europe — with the possibility of delivering to other platforms of our logistics operator upon request.
Harbour Distribution is a seafood trading company built around live species — crustaceans and shellfish above all — supplied alongside fresh fish and seafood sourced from Dutch and Belgian auctions and from trusted partner farms across Europe.
We're headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, with operational platforms in Yerseke (Netherlands), Boulogne-sur-Mer (France), and Chociw (Poland) — giving us direct access to auction floors, premium day-boat landings, farms, and our own wet warehouse.
Our advantage is combination: crustaceans, shellfish, and fresh fish from different origins go out as one consolidated shipment with a single set of export documents, instead of buyers having to manage several suppliers separately. With more than 15 years of sourcing experience across different fish species, we've built a reputation as a solid, trusted partner — one that puts quality above price, while still keeping our prices competitive.
Eight things that come with every order.
Combine crustaceans, shellfish, and fresh fish from different origins into a single consolidated shipment — one shipment, one set of documents.
Live product is held in circulating seawater at our own facility, not just packed and shipped — guaranteeing full quality and survival on arrival.
We have our own oyster farm in the Netherlands to ensure high-quality oysters all year round, backed by strong contracts with trusted partner farms across Europe — we can source you French and Irish oysters too.
Buying from us means you don't need to worry about minimum order quantities. Because we consolidate shipments, you get better pricing without being tied to any single supplier's minimums.
Veterinary and health certificates, customs clearance, certificates of origin, and any additional paperwork your market requires — all handled in-house.
We handle your goods with proper palletizing to ensure zero damage in transit, and labeling can be arranged to match your market's requirements.
For time-critical or long-distance orders, we organize air freight alongside standard road transport.
Every batch is checked before it leaves our warehouse or platform. If it doesn't meet our standard, it doesn't ship — freshness and condition always come first.
