Bream is best !
Delicious fish.. didn’t know what to expect but it was delicate in flavour with a firm texture. Would definitely order this again. Oven roasted with aromatic vegetables… winner!

Great range & service
We were delighted with the bream that we bought from Greenfish – perfect grilled whole on the braai! – and the convenient same-day delivery. Such a great product range and amazing service, thanks guys!

Fresh box black bream
This was the first time we've had black bream... The fish was excellent. So fresh, it just flaked apart. Will definitely buy it again.

Great buy
A pack of two large bream arrived same day as ordered. Makes a great supper roasted whole in the oven. Fish was clean and scaled as requested, so easy to prepare. Happy to recommend and worth snapping up when you see it, as it’s not always available.

Great for a fish curry
Very fresh. Made an amazing fish curry. Stunning!

Fresh and same day delivery
Very fresh. will braai tomorrow. You are the BEST

Local black bream is delicious
Thank you Greenfish for introducing me to black bream. It was extremely fresh and tasty and easy to cook. Wonderful fish, wonderful service!

Delicious fish
Very speedy and efficient service, with same-day delivery even though I was only expecting it to arrive the following day. We baked the bream whole (perfectly scaled and gutted by the team at greenfish) following the recipe on the fishwife site, and it was delicious! Will definitely be buying again soon.

Excellent service!
Definitely quality and packaged well. Will definitely support Greenfish again. Thank you!
