Order process
Why isn't my discount code working?
You can redeem your discount code when completing your order in the "Discount code or gift voucher" field. Please note that each discount code is subject to specific conditions.

When will my order be delivered?
Your order will typically be delivered by our shipping partner GO! Logistics between 8 AM and 12 PM on your chosen delivery day. You will receive a tracking number in the shipping confirmation email, which you can use to track the delivery of your package. Once it has been delivered, you will also receive an email from GO!.
How will my parcel be delivered?
We work with the shipping service provider GO! Logistics, who will deliver your package within 24 hours. As soon as the package has left our warehouse, you can track it using the tracking number in your shipping confirmation email. You can also grant a drop-off aufhorization during the ordering process if you are unable to receive the package yourself.
Will my order be delivered frozen?
Our products reach you exactly as they leave our warehouse – whether chilled, frozen, or as dry goods. Our logistics team takes great care to ensure that frozen products truly arrive frozen and that the cold chain remains intact. If you order products in different states (frozen, chilled, & dry goods), our innovative packing method with different climate zones ensures that each product arrives in the correct condition. You can find more information on the shipping conditions and payment page.
How will my order be packaged?
We ship our specialties exclusively in highly efficient, thermally insulated recycling boxes, ensuring that our products reach you in the same condition they leave our warehouse – whether chilled, frozen, or as dry goods. To ensure that chilled and frozen products arrive at your doorstep in the same condition, they are packaged with thermal inlays and dry ice. This guarantees that the cold chain is never interrupted. You can find more information on the shipping conditions and payment page.
Is the packaging environmentally friendly or recyclable?
You can dispose of the cardboard box and the paper insulation in the waste paper. The plastic bags from the dry ice can be disposed of in the plastic waste once the ice has completely dissipated. Be careful when touching the bags, as dry ice can cause cold burns if it comes into unprotected contact with the skin.
Delivery
Is delivery to Austria possible?
Yes, that is possible. All information about shipping to Austria can be found on the shipping conditions page.
Is delivery to Switzerland possible?
Yes, that is possible. All information about shipping to Switzerland can be found on the shipping conditions page.

What if my package is delayed?

Otherwise, please feel free to contact our customer service, stating your order number, either by phone at +49(0)89/215508813 or by email at shop@honest-catch.com.
What if I'm not home for the delivery?
If you already know in advance that you will not be home on the day of delivery, you can leave a drop-off authorization and have the package delivered, for example, behind the garden fence or to a neighbor. If you have not left a delivery authorization and are still not at home, we reserve the right to leave the shipment in a safe place. If this is not possible, additional costs for a new delivery may arise. Please make sure before ordering that someone is at home on the day of delivery and can accept the package.
I have a problem with my order. Where can I report it?
If you have any problems or questions, please contact our customer service department, stating your order number, either by phone at +49(0)89/215508813 or by email at shop@honest-catch.com. If possible, please also send us pictures of the products or the package relevant to your inquiry.
There's no more dry ice in my package, is that bad?
No need to worry: dry ice naturally dissipates gradually during transport. Even if no dry ice is visible when you open the package, your order will remain sufficiently cooled due to the insulating packaging. Our packaging is designed to keep the contents cool for up to 24 hours, and often even longer.

Product Questions
Is the Bavarian shrimp no longer available?
The Bavarian Shrimp was bred by our sister company Oceanloop – initially in Munich, later also in Kiel. Breeding in Munich ceased in April 2025. The Kiel location offers significantly better conditions for more resource-efficient and sustainable production due to naturally available seawater and the use of waste heat from local energy suppliers. Therefore, the focus is now entirely on Kiel. After ten years, the focus is now gradually shifting from the Bavarian Shrimp to the GOOD GROUPER. The main reasons for this are economic and energy-related conditions that unfortunately no longer make the long-term continuation of the Bavarian Shrimp viable.An alternative to the Bavarian Shrimp can be found in the GOOD GAMBA - this is also a White Tiger Shrimp, which is bred land-based in an almost identical farm in Spain.
What makes GOOD GAMBA stand out?
The GOOD GAMBA comes from a land-based indoor aquaculture in Spain, where it is raised under strict quality controls, very similar to our Bavarian Shrimp. The White Tiger Prawn develops there under ideal conditions and without antibiotics into a full-bodied prawn with a firm bite and a slightly nutty taste. It is shock-frozen and can also be eaten raw due to the high production standards. If you are looking for a sustainably farmed shrimp from Europe, you will find it in GOOD GAMBA.
Do you only offer frozen products?
With the exception of fresh sturgeon caviar and a few delicacy products, we rely exclusively on frozen goods, as these offer various advantages over fresh fish, such as easy storage and particularly long shelf life. Flash freezing directly on board optimally preserves taste, texture, and nutritional values, and even after thawing, they are still like fresh from the sea. You can find all information about the advantages of frozen fish in our blog post. If you are unsure how to best thaw frozen products, we have compiled a thawing guide for you.
Why are the products so expensive?
We place great importance on quality, sustainability and fair conditions throughout the entire supply chain. This is also reflected in the price. In return, HONEST CATCH provides you with high-quality products with transparent origins, responsible production and full flavour. It is important to us that you always know what you are paying for.
When will my desired product be available again?
As we try to source or grow our products as resource-efficiently and sustainably as possible, it sometimes happens that not everything is always in stock. We also adhere to harvesting times and respect catch quotas. The good news for you is that you can be automatically notified as soon as your desired product is available again. Simply click the "Notify me when available" button next to the product image on the product page and leave your email address.
Where does my desired product come from?
We source all products in our range from responsible sources, including our own farms, wild catches, and aquaculture. You can always find the exact origin of your favorites on the product page under the 'Origin' tab.
Why is the catch date so long ago?
The catch date can sometimes be a little older – that's completely normal and not a quality defect. Our fish and seafood are carefully processed and flash-frozen immediately after being caught. This preserves nutrients, taste, and texture almost unchanged for months, regardless of the exact catch date.Especially for products from remote fishing grounds or those with long transport routes, this method is crucial: flash-freezing immediately stops the natural degradation process after the catch, ensuring that the products appear almost fresh when thawed. This allows us to offer you exceptional quality – without compromise and without time pressure between catch and enjoyment.
