Specialist in live seafood

Alive and kicking for the best taste in seafood

Founded in 2017, Xiè Foods emerged from a shared vision: to bring the finest live seafood from the Netherlands to customers around the world, with a particular focus on the Asian market.

With years of expertise and a commitment to excellence, our founders Ferdinand Seinen, Yetao Zhu, and Chiel Wilbrink have developed a niche in the live seafood export industry. The company’s roots lie in a pioneering project involving the cultivation of crabs in a government-supported project, sparking the idea to specialize exclusively in live seafood exports.

Your premier supplier of high-quality live seafood

From the start, Xiè Foods has focused on the unique quality of live seafood, understanding that freshness and vitality are paramount for both flavor and appeal. Unlike many providers who work with fresh, frozen or processed seafood, we specialize solely in live products, ensuring our seafood retains its premium taste and texture. Our transport and storage process, which includes innovative and advanced techniques, ensures that our products travel with minimal stress and optimal survival rates.
