The Pike-Perch: Fish of the Year 2025

We at LocalFish are delighted to celebrate a special milestone. The pikeperch has been voted Fish of the Year 2025 in Switzerland – awarded by the Swiss Fishing Federation!

This award not only highlights the uniqueness of this noble fish, but also emphasizes the importance of its protection and sustainable use.

The Zander – A Master of the Water
The pikeperch, also known as Sander lucioperca , is a real character in our local waters. With its slim, powerful body and the distinctive stripes on its sides, it is a fascinating sight. Its large, light-sensitive eyes in particular make it a master of twilight and night. The pikeperch finds ideal living conditions in the clear lakes and rivers of Switzerland - be it in Lake Constance, Lake Neuchâtel or Lake Lucerne.

100% from Switzerland
LocalFish stands for transparency, sustainability and local consumption. We breed our own fish and bring it directly to your plate with our partners. This means that you receive a fresh, high-quality premium product that comes directly from Switzerland. Without detours and without the influence of imports that are often contaminated with microplastics or medication. This way you can be sure that you have healthy, sustainably produced food on your plate.

protection and sustainable use
Although the pikeperch is endangered in many regions - mainly due to overfishing and changes in its habitat - it plays an important role in the ecosystem. As a predatory fish, it regulates fish stocks and thus ensures a healthy balance in our waters. The selection of the pikeperch as Fish of the Year reminds us of the importance of its sustainable use and protection.

A delight for the senses
