If a QR code from a seafood purchase brought you to Death Fish, the seafood you purchased most likely moved through Golden Eye Seafood — a complete end-to-end seafood supply chain connecting working watermen to restaurants, markets, and retailers. Golden Eye receives the harvest, packs it, maintains the cold chain, and moves it to market while keeping the source story attached.
