Fish sales
Live fish:
Selling live from the pond — simplest channel, low margin, no processing/cold chain.
Paid fishing:
Entry ticket price often beats per-kg — a different pond economics.
Processing:
Smoking, drying, canning — +100–200% to price, but needs a shop and documents.
Retail wholesale:
Stable but lower price; needs cold chain and vet documents.
Restaurants/local markets:
Live or chilled fish to restaurants — above wholesale price.
Seasonality:
Autumn catch — low prices; hold part in the wintering pond until spring — higher price.
Documents:
Vet certificate per batch, business with proper KVED, sanitation for processing.
Summary:
Start: live fish + paid fishing. Growth: processing + restaurant contracts.
