UFA fish auctions
We unburden suppliers and buyers of fresh fish from our fish auction houses, the logistics centres for the highest quality fresh North Sea fish and Dutch shrimp, bridging the gap between supply and demand.
Trust in quality from catch to plate. That is what the UFA is all about.
Working together
Fish and shrimp are our passion. The UFA works closely with all parties in the fishing industry to make sure that fresh fish is responsibly available for clients and consumers each and every day. As one of the largest fish auction organisations in the Netherlands, the UFA combines fisheries, trade, technology, innovation, sustainability, and education. The UFA believes that working together in fisheries is essential for the sector's continuity. Fishermen, buyers, and all other stakeholders in the chain are stronger together. That is why we connect them with each other.
Fresh from the source
Fish and shrimp of the very best quality, fresh from the source, are sorted, traded, and delivered promptly to you from the UFA's auction houses.
Online auction
Not present at the auction but want to buy fish nonetheless? Your location is not important: an internet connection, computer, tablet, or mobile phone will suffice.
Logistics centre
Caught yesterday, bought today, in the shop and on the plate tomorrow. The UFA delivers your purchased fish quickly wherever you want. Anywhere in the world.
International
We also handle the financial processing of your purchases at the fish auctions of Stockholm, Smögen, Thyborøn, Gilleleje, Hvide Sande, and Thorsminde.
Wide selection of fish
Each year, we sell thousands of tonnes of fish to wholesalers, and to the hospitality and retail sectors. Our fish auctions stand guarantee for a steady supply of fresh quality fish, shrimp, and Oosterschelde lobster.

Trust in quality
We unload and sort the delivered fresh fish and shrimp according to the relevant legislation and regulations, and our auction and quality inspectors give the fish an independent freshness score. We sort shrimp into three size classes in our modern, conditioned sorting facility for Dutch shrimp.
UFA makes no compromises when it comes to responsibly handling authentic and healthy food.
Trust in quality from catch to plate. That is what UFA is all about.
Innovation
Societal and technological developments, digitalisation, and internationalisation require constant innovation in fisheries also. We believe in the power of cooperation, and that is why the UFA helps and supports fishermen, scientists, and other industry partners to maintain the best quality fish and shrimp available to a rapidly growing global population in a market-driven, innovative, sustainable, and responsible way.
