What happens with the fish that are caught:

A significant portion of our daily catch is donated to our acclaimed partner soup kitchens and social upliftment projects, providing meals for up to 12,000 children every month. Guests are welcome to take a small portion of the day's catch for personal consumption, which they can prepare at home or have cooked and enjoyed. Sharks, Marlin, and other fish classified as unsustainable by SASSI (Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative) are caught and released.
