Dutch land-based yellowtail farmer The Kingfish Company reported a healthy first quarter of 2021, with sales volumes surging 92 percent year-on-year and price levels remaining strong.

The company, which announced new listings in Whole Foods in the United States and Hello Fresh in Europe during the quarter, noted the resilience of its products over the period.

The full year 2020 results came in ahead of expectations, driven by strong operational performance, combined with sales volumes and price levels that remained at pre-COVID levels through the year, and strict cost control, said the company.
