Passionate, respectful, and incredibly kind: An interview with Ryan

Ryan Nienaber is the co-founder and owner of Greenfish. He has been fishing since he was 5-years-old and has been formulating an income out of the ocean since leaving school. 

Greenfish is a Cape Town based family business and the company is run by Ryan, his brother, their wives and a strong core team that have been with them since day 1. They service restaurants, the hospitality and wholesale industry with high quality, seasonal and locally sourced fish and seafood products. And you guessed it - Ryan catches tuna one-by-one! Growing up as artisanal handline and tuna pole fisherman - brothers Ryan and Andrew have more than 60 years' worth of combined fishing under their belt

“We love fish, we live for the ocean.”

Choose tuna caught by small-scale fisheries, such as Greenfish, who respect ocean life and why brings economic stability and food security to local communities.
