From a local idea to Durban's seafood revolution
Best Catch was born from a simple observation: Durban has some of the freshest, highest-quality seafood in South Africa, yet connecting local fishermen with customers remained inefficient and often unfair.
Best Catch is proudly owned and operated by Sihiya, a technology company committed to empowering traditional industries through innovative digital solutions. While visiting the Durban harbor markets, the Sihiya team noticed how many talented fishermen struggled to reach customers beyond their immediate area. Meanwhile, seafood lovers across the city yearned for better access to fresh catches but didn't know where to find them.
The Idea Takes Shape - Sihiya identifies an opportunity to revolutionize Durban's seafood industry. After months of research and conversations with local fishermen, the concept of Best Catch marketplace is developed.
Building the Platform - Sihiya's development team builds a user-friendly platform that makes seafood trading simple for both buyers and sellers, incorporating AI-powered features and secure payment systems.
Official Launch - Best Catch officially launches to the public. Local fishermen and fishmongers begin listing their catches. The community grows organically through word of mouth.
Rapid Growth - Within weeks, Best Catch gains traction with hundreds of transactions completed. Delivery network expands across Durban and surrounding areas. Dylan AI assistant is integrated to enhance user experience.
Leading the Way - Best Catch is quickly becoming Durban's go-to seafood marketplace, setting new standards for freshness, quality, and fair trade in the fishing industry.
