Frigate Atlantic

An Atlantic seafood platform connecting field experience, production at sea and global markets.

Sharks don’t grow in an aquarium.

Our story was shaped at sea. Our next chapter connects it to the world.

Aslışah & Neslişah 1

ASLIŞAH and NESLİŞAH 1: the investment begun with Çınar Shipyard in 2018 became Aziz Balıkçılık’s owned fleet and catch-to-shore-factory operating chain in Mauritania during 2019–2024. Frigate Atlantic is now carrying that experience into an integrated platform.

From catch to market. One flow.

The proposed model brings production automation, the cold chain and product tracking together from receiving to shipment.
