Sustainability means availability.
Our strict farming practices ensure Delacata is always available – and we mean for generations. Due to an ever-growing demand for seafood, over 75% of the world’s fish species are overexploited or depleted. However, Delacata offers a large-scale, responsible alternative.
Delacata is raised in freshwater ponds, primarily in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. The ponds are fed from underground wells, and the clay-based soil naturally maintains purity. The ponds must meet Clean Water Act standards, which means farmers can only use chemicals approved for use in public drinking water.
A special grain-based diet ensures hearty, healthy fish, as well as Delacata’s fresh and mild flavor. Once harvested, the select fish are transported live to the processing plant where they are quickly filleted, deep-skinned and cut into prime 1" thick steaks. They are then hand-trimmed to remove any trace of fatty membrane, leaving a premium, heart-healthy fillet ready for your kitchen.
