We are Gadus
Since 1989, we have been working on one mission: giving fish a more prominent place in everyday eating.
We believe everyone has the right to high-quality, sustainable and healthy fish on their plate. As a dynamic fish-processing company, we develop fish products and ready-to-eat meals that fit seamlessly into modern lifestyles. From experienced chefs to those with little time to cook, we make choosing fish easier for everyone.


Our ambition
To evolve fish from an exclusive luxury product into a natural part of our daily diet. With the broadest range on the market, we offer our customers the most complete fish assortment. Knowledge is our foundation; innovation is our strength.
Our approach
More than a supplier
We are a strategic partner for our customers. By working closely together and understanding their needs, we deliver the right product and support them in the marketing and positioning of quality fish. The fast-growing consumer market demands close cooperation. We provide that partnership.


Thanks to thorough market analyses and market expertise, we understand what consumers look for in fish. We respond to those expectations with innovative, user-friendly solutions that make fish accessible to everyone. Our in-house product development enables us to respond quickly and flexibly to changing consumption patterns with new, relevant products.

Acquired by Steinasalir, a group of Icelandic fishing companies and investors
The acquisition in 2017 marked the start of a new phase. With the backing of Icelandic fish experts and access to one of the most important cod quotas in the world, we were able to strengthen our position as a supplier of premium North Atlantic fish. At the same time, we stayed close to our Belgian roots and our customers.
Launch with Sligro
Start strategic partnership Delhaize
Delhaize is a strategic partner of Gadus, sharing the same ambition for quality, transparency and sustainability. Together, we are building a future-proof fish assortment with respect for people, animals and the planet.
Renewal of the production lines
Many packaging lines at Gadus were completely renewed. The new installations are more energy-efficient and reduce electricity consumption – without compromising on food safety, sealing quality or operational reliability. This investment supports operational efficiency and contributes to reduced energy use and emissions.
