SEAFOOD SINCE 2007

The scent of the Mekong, delivered to California.

Premium pangasius fillets sourced sustainably from Vietnam and delivered frozen to kitchens across the West Coast. No shortcuts from the delta to your door.

SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD

Most seafood distributors won't tell you where your fish comes from. We will.

We believe real traceability means knowing the exact farm, the catch method, and the supply chain from the Mekong Delta to your door in San Jose.

01

Single-source supply chain

Every fillet traces back to Vinh Hoan farms. No blending, no middlemen.

02

ASC-certified farms only

We source exclusively from farms meeting the Aquaculture Stewardship Council's standards.

03

Frozen at peak freshness

Fillets are blast-frozen hours after harvesting, locking in flavor and nutrition.

No preservatives, no shortcuts

Just the fish, frozen clean. No added water, phosphates, or chemical treatments.

05

Carbon-conscious shipping

We consolidate ocean freight and minimize cold-chain breaks to reduce emissions.

Direct partnership since 2007

We've worked with Vinh Hoan for nearly two decades. That continuity means consistent quality.

TRUST FROM THE START

18 years of consistent quality

We switched to coastbeacon three years ago and haven't looked back. The fillets arrive consistently sized, properly packed, and always on schedule. That reliability matters when you're planning menus.

Their traceability is what sold us. Every batch comes with documentation straight from the Mekong Delta. For our sustainability commitments, that transparency is non-negotiable.

No one else matches their consistency on value-added products. The pre-seasoned pangasius portions save us hours of prep, and the yield is always predictable. It just makes the numbers work.

OUR STORY

How a partnership in Vietnam became a California distributor

In 2007, we joined Vinh Hoan Corporation to bring premium, traceable pangasius from the Mekong Delta to kitchens across the United States. What started as a direct source has grown into a $250 million operation based in San Jose — built on sustainable fishing and a steady supply chain.
