Pond to plate, room by room

Seven rooms, one fish. Scroll to walk from the hatchery to your kitchen; the frame on the left follows you, and the floor plan shows where you are on the farm.

Tap a room on the plan to jump to it.

  1. Room 1 · Day 0 to 7

    The hatchery

    28 to 30°C waterChecked every 3 hoursClean borehole water

    Every Bluefin fish starts here, in warm, clean tanks fed by our own borehole. Healthy parent fish are kept apart in a quiet shed, and hatchlings live on their yolk sacs for the first few days, then on live feed.

    We would rather hatch fewer fish and lose fewer. Calm water makes strong fish.

  2. Room 2 · Day 7 to 60

    Nursery tanks

    Fed 5 times a daySorted by size weeklyWater changed daily

    Fry move into shaded nursery tanks, where we feed fine starter feed five times a day and sort them by size each week so the small ones are not bullied. By day 30 they are fingerlings, the size farmers buy from us.

    Sorting is slow work, and it is the reason our fingerlings grow evenly in your pond.

  3. Room 3 · Day 60 to 150

    Grow-out ponds

    14 earthen pondsStocked at safe densitiesShade trees on the banks

    Juveniles go out to fourteen earthen ponds, each planted round with shade trees. We stock fewer fish per pond than many farms, which keeps water cleaner and fish calmer, and lets them grow at their own pace.

    You can taste a stressed fish. Space and clean water are the secret ingredients.

  4. Room 4 · Every day

    Feed and water care

    Floating feed onlyOxygen and pH checked twice dailyWater records kept

    Feeding time is the best show on the farm. We use floating feed so we can see exactly how much each pond eats, and stop before waste fouls the water. Oxygen and pH are checked morning and evening, and written in the pond book.

    If you cannot see the fish eat, you are feeding the pond, not the fish.

  5. Room 5 · From day 150

    Harvest

    Harvested to orderFeed stopped the day beforeGraded by weight

    We harvest to order, early in the morning when the water is cool. Feed stops the day before, so fish are clean inside. Each fish is graded by weight, and live fish travel in aerated tanks.

    Your fish is still swimming at sunrise on the day it reaches you.

  6. Room 6 · 1 to 2 days

    Cleaning and smoking

    Hardwood smokeFood-safe cleaning roomPacked when cool

    Fish for the fresh counter are cleaned and cut in a tiled, food-safe room. Fish for smoking go into our clay kilns over hardwood for up to two days, turned by hand, until they are firm, golden and keep well.

    Smoking is patience. Rush it and the fish breaks; take your time and it keeps for weeks.

  7. Room 7 · Same day

    Your plate

    Riders across UyoMorning delivery slotsPay on delivery or by transfer

    Then the last room is yours. Our riders reach Ewet Housing in minutes and most of Uyo before the traffic, or you can collect at the farm gate. Pepper soup, grill, banga or stew: the fish is ready for it.

    We like to hear what you cooked. Send us a photo on WhatsApp.

Questions about the farm

Tour FAQ

Do you use hormones or antibiotics?

We do not use growth hormones. Fish are treated only if a vet advises it for a sick pond, and those fish are kept out of sale until it is safe.

Where does your water come from?

From our own borehole, pumped by solar, and topped up with clean rainwater in the wet season. Ponds are drained and limed between cycles.

Can children feed the fish?

Yes, on the Saturday tour children feed one pond with a guide beside them. It is the part they remember most.

Is the smoking house safe to enter?

Visitors stand at the doorway with a guide. It is warm and smoky, so we keep groups small.
