About us

Establishing ourselves as a one-stop supply chain

Datco Foods brings together two specialist houses. Our seafood arm has connections with the industry going back over 30 years, with international roots in processing and packing seafood in Karachi, Pakistan — including our own fishing vessels and facility at the Karachi Fish Harbour, alongside close ties to leading international suppliers.

Our dried goods arm draws on three generations of trading and sourcing dried fruit, nuts and seeds, supplying bakers, wholesalers and food manufacturers — from mainstream retailers to well-known household brands. With trading operations in London and a 100,000 sq ft ISO-accredited facility, we process and blend to our customers’ specific requirements.

As not only importers and distributors but processors and packers too, we take pride in mastering the entire supply chain — bridging the gap from suppliers to distributors, with no compromise.

The best relations

Friendly, efficient and professional, from processors to fishmongers.

The best quality

Having mastered processing and packing, we never compromise.

Door-to-door

UK-wide distribution, delivered by our own vans.
