Where we grow them....


C4_new_pond.JPG

Although we sell larger (C3+) carp to UK fisheries we have ponds that vary from 100sqm upto in excess of 16,000sqm to allow us to select only the best strains and individual fish for you the customer. The fish farm now has over 40 individual ponds meaning we can make more of our fish available to our customers in years to come.

Behind the scenes.....


MUDDY_SUE.jpg

From liming ponds at the start of the year, through feeding countless tonnes of food, to the start of another exciting harvest season the list of work is endless and year round. But adding it all together produces fish that we, and many of the carp fisheries in the country, feel are amongst the best available.

Hand selecting = VS Fisheries Quality


Time_to_decide.jpg

Every single one of our fish that leaves our farm is carefully hand selected by Viv or Simon to their demanding standards. This grading process begins when the fish are only 6 months old and occurs annually until the fish leave the farm at 2.5 (C3) to 5.5 years old (C6) meaning the fish you recieve are the best available. Taking this level of care takes time but we feel it is worth it!

Brood stock and the next generation...


Sutton_Brood_Female.jpg

The continual strive to produce the best carp for our customers means that we have to have full control over the whole production process. Second best is just not good enough at VS Fisheries! Over the past few years we have produced some very exciting carp, by crossing very well known strains with proven records, that are destined to be the big carp of the future.

Delivery & Disinfection


The_transportation_rig_.jpg

Ensuring we keep our fish in the best condition whilst they are in transit to their new homes is vital to us at VSF. Added to this the bio-security of customers and our farm is of utmost importance. VSF meets all the legislation regarding transportation and has a full bio-security plan that is market leading.
