Who We Are

From Ocean to
Every Namibian Table

Paragon Seafood Products was established in 2011 as a horse mackerel rights and quota holder. We have since grown into a fully integrated producer, marketer and distributor of frozen and canned seafood products — all under the popular Tjao Fish brand.

Our fish is wild-caught from the unpolluted Atlantic Ocean and processed in EU-approved, HACCP-certified and FDA-listed factories in Walvis Bay. We maintain an unbroken cold chain from ocean to consumer — so every pack of Tjao Fish reaches you in perfect condition.

We have built a well-organised distribution network covering the length and breadth of Namibia, with a strong foundation to expand into the SADC region and beyond.

Our Mission

To provide high-protein, affordable seafood to every Namibian household — while creating sustainable livelihoods and supporting local entrepreneurship.
