Welcome on our website! Established on the beautiful island of Bonaire, Elijah Fish Farm grows Cobia fish for the local markets in Bonaire and Curacao. We pride ourselves in being the first aquacultural farm in the Dutch Caribbean. Our operations are based on a closed Recirculation Aquaculture System (ARS), set up and maintained by our partner Hesy Aquaculture B.V. which allows us to produce this healthy and tasty product without impacting Bonaire’s ecosystem.
As Dutch Caribbean islands, surrounded by the Caribbean sea, fish has traditionally been an important part of our menu.

In view of the sustainable character of its operations our fish farm is called Elijah, after the biblical prophet who left the earth without dying.
