About us
Tasmania Blue Seafood Pty Ltd is a joint venture established in 2023 between KSF Australia, a subsidiary of Japan's Kita Sanriku Factory, and Australia's Richey Fishing. The company is headquartered at Huonville, Tasmania, and specializes in the processing and export of Tasmanian seafood.
Tasmania Blue Seafood has the large blast freezing and holding capacity.
Richey Fishing was started by Dick Richey in 1947 with a small 11 meter trawler and has grown to a fishing business holding quota and licenses in a number of southern fisheries including the Bass Strait Central Zone Scallop Fishery, Tasmanian scallop fishery, Victorian scallop fishery, Southern squid fishery, Tasmanian squid fishery and the Tasmanian Australian salmon fishery.
Richey Services came as an offshoot from Richey Fishing in the 1980’s when the business started doing small offshore charter operations and has grown to specialise in handling offshore scientific moorings, supporting ROV operations, Marine Mammal observers, seismic chase boat and anything that is a bit out of the ordinary.
The world’s leading sea urchin producer is located in the town of Hirono, Iwate Prefecture, in the Tohoku region of Japan. We are dedicated to producing top-quality sea urchins. Its unique Uni Ranch®︎ is the only one of its kind in the world.
Beyond cultivating delicious sea urchins, the company strives to build a sustainable future for the marine industry through innovative, regenerative aquaculture practices.
