About NileX · held at −18°C

Seafood Importer · Wholesaler · Premium Retailer · Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

At NileX Seafood, we bridge the gap between the world's premier aquaculture sources and Ethiopia's finest tables. By combining direct, certified sourcing with an unbroken cold chain, we deliver consistent, restaurant-grade seafood, specified to your needs, with full traceability and no compromise on quality.

01 · The story

A landlocked country. A rising appetite for fish.

Ethiopia has no coastline, and its lake fisheries are under growing pressure, while demand from hotels and restaurants keeps rising. Consistent, quality fish was hard to get, and harder to trust.

So we went to the source. Our whitefish is farmed in the Mekong Delta; our salmon in the cold waters of Norway and Chile, processed in certified Vietnamese facilities, then imported to Ethiopia from Vietnam. Every product is traceable to its true origin.

What was missing was a trustworthy bridge to carry it, cold and documented, all the way to Addis. NileX is that bridge, owned end to end.

02 · Sourcing philosophy

Specify, don't settle

We don't sell "fish." We sell a documented spec, cut, grade, glaze and pack, repeatable order after order, so a kitchen plates the same result every time.

Own the cold

The cold chain is the product. We control it from the pond in the Mekong to the cold store in Addis, never letting it break and never asking you to take it on faith.

Stand at both ends

One of us selects the farms in Vietnam; the other delivers in Addis. No anonymous middleman, you always speak to the person with hands on the fish.

03 · Two countries, one line

A two-country operation, by design.

Addis Ababa

Selam Adamasu

Director of Sales & Procurement

Your point of contact in Ethiopia. Selam handles pricing, orders, delivery and the documentation your buyers and auditors need, the person who makes sure the fish and the paperwork both arrive.

Vietnam

Ruhama Eshetu

Director of Sourcing

On the ground in the Mekong Delta. Ruhama selects the farms, holds the spec at source and owns quality before a single box is frozen, so what leaves Vietnam is already right.
