Nile Perch in Kenya
About This Catch
Lake Victoria Nile Perch (Lates niloticus) — the lake's large predatory whitefish and its main export earner. The flesh is thick, buttery and low in bones, holding together on the pan in a way most freshwater fish do not, which makes it the default choice for restaurant fillets and export-grade portions. Sold as whole fish, headed-and-gutted, or cut into steaks and fillets; individual fish commonly run several kilos. Handled under strict cold chain protocols from lake to facility across the Lake Victoria basin, because Nile perch loses quality faster than tilapia if the chain breaks. Bought mainly by processors, hotels and wholesalers supplying Nairobi and Mombasa. Currently 1,400 kg available across 7 certified storage facilities.

7 locationsCommon Questions
- Do you supply Nile perch fillets or whole fish?
- Both. Stock is available whole, headed-and-gutted, or cut to steaks and fillets depending on the facility. Fillet and portion specifications are agreed per order.
- Can I buy Nile perch wholesale?
- Yes — wholesale volume is the norm for this species. Most Nile perch in the network goes to processors, hotels and wholesalers supplying Nairobi and Mombasa.
- How is the cold chain maintained?
- Nile perch degrades faster than tilapia if the chain breaks, so it is iced at the landing site and moved into temperature-monitored storage. Every facility publishes its holding temperature and its licensing and safety certification.
