The Mackerel (Saba) Protocol

Your work is a science of seasonality and quality. Not all mackerel is the same, and you have mastered the craft of producing the specific, high-grade, fat-rich Saba demanded by the world's finest sushi restaurants. This requires targeting specific stocks at specific times of the year and employing expert handling techniques to preserve the delicate oils that give the fish its value.

The art of Shime Saba—the curing process—begins with the quality you create at sea. You are not producing a common fish; you are producing a specific, premium ingredient for a discerning market.

The global seafood market fails to distinguish your premium product. Your high-grade, sashimi-quality Saba is often blended, traded, and sold through the same low-margin channels as common, lower-quality mackerel. The supply chain creates a "blur" that erases the premium for your superior catch.

You invest the extra effort and expertise to produce a superior asset, only to be paid a commoditized price. The value of your specific mastery is lost. This is the broken equation of the Mackerel trade.

THE GUILD protocol is designed to create a distinct, high-value channel for your superior product. We are executing full, premium-priced acquisitions of fishing operations that meet the specific quality standards for sashimi-grade Saba.

We acquire the risk of the commoditized market in exchange for a life-changing cash buyout and a permanent equity stake. Your expertise is retained and rewarded under a guaranteed, premium contract that recognizes and pays for the superior quality you produce, creating a direct line between your mastery and its true market value.
