Once a staunch supplier to Europe and the United States, the last two years has seen Indian trader Seven Seas switch allegiances to Japan and China.

With offices now in Tokyo and in the northern Chinese port city of Dalian, Managing Director Salim Iqbal is attending this week's Taiwan Fisheries & Seafood Show for the first time.

The company is mainly doing headless and head-on vannamei to China. It is also selling squid, cuttlefish and lower-value Indian mainstays such as ribbonfish and pomfret.
