about us

Who we are

In 1995. driven by a profound appreciation for the nutritional benefits of fish and an unwavering commitment to quality, we founded “Select FISH”—a respected enterprise that has since become one of Greece’s foremost leaders in the fields of fresh and frozen fish, as well as ready to eat seafood.

Redefining Seafood with Innovation & Superior Quality

Our journey was initiated by Dimosthenis Georgopoulos, an industry veteran with a rich history in fish trading, whose visionary aspiration was to establish an integrated facility for the import, processing, manufacturing, preservation, distribution, and export of both international and domestic fish products, all within our company-owned facilities located in the Industrial Park of Ano Liosia, Attica & in Tripoli in the Peloponnese region.

Committed to meeting modern industry standards and guided by a global clientele’s unwavering trust, Select FISH has consistently delivered premium quality products at competitive prices, always underscored by a sense of responsibility and an unwavering commitment to consistency.

Fish is more than a meal!

It represents heritage, innovation, and a canvas for creativity, uniting flavors and emotions on plates worldwide.
