FishList.com Launches to Connect Buyers and Suppliers of Wholesale Seafood

Online, August 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The quest for wholesale seafood can be tedious, expensive and inefficient. Most seafood buyers only do business with a handful of seafood suppliers with whom they have existing relationships, thus limiting their seafood options and offering very little price leverage. To make matters worse, wholesale seafood buyers have to spend hours on the phone searching for products and comparing prices before finally choosing a supplier and product that may or may not meet their needs. The limiting and time-consuming search for seafood often leaves buyers frustrated and dissatisfied.

FishList makes finding and purchasing seafood easy by placing an expansive product inventory and supplier database at buyers' fingertips. Never again do wholesale seafood buyers have to compromise their product needs or pay premiums for special orders. The comprehensive and meticulous standardization of the FishList marketplace allows users to quickly locate products based on their unique criteria. Intricate search options allow for products to be filtered based on 20 different variables, including origin, cut, quality and location.

Seafood buyers now have the ability not only to find the products they want, but to save substantial amounts of time and money as well. When searching for a specific product, a user can save time by creating a "Wanted Ad," which not only automatically generates potential product options, but also gives FishList suppliers the opportunity to compete for that buyer's business. Furthermore, if a product is needed on short notice, a buyer can mark a "Wanted Ad" as urgent, which immediately notifies seafood suppliers of what is needed and when.

Because trust and personal interaction are vital to wholesale seafood trading, FishList does not process any transactions. Instead, FishList allows seafood buyers and seafood suppliers to network with each other on the site before completing the purchase privately. "FishList functions as a neutral middleman up to the point of the sale, providing each party with all of the information they need so that all they have to do is pick up the phone and finalize the deal," said Eric Spett, co-founder of FishList.com. "The goal is to minimize the back-and-forth exchange, making the business process easier for everyone involved."

As a final note, FishList is and will continue to be highly innovative to reflect and cater to the needs of businesses involved in the wholesale seafood trade.
