Amazonian Reserve Peru
Sourcing, Tradition
& Heritage
Two species. Two culinary traditions. One supply, built from scratch.
Amazonian origins
Before they reach your kitchen, they carry centuries of history.
Paiche and Doncella are not commodity fish. They are deeply embedded in the culinary identity of the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon.
Paiche · Pirarucu
The giant of the Amazon. Known by two names.
Arapaima gigas — called Paiche in Peru and Pirarucu in Brazil — is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world.
In Brazil, Pirarucu is the centrepiece of preparations that define northern cuisine.
Atlantissea is the exclusive international importer of Amazonian Reserve Peru.
Amazon Basin — traditional Pirarucu harvest
Doncella · Surubim · Pintado
The most prized freshwater catfish in South America.
Pseudoplatystoma punctifer is known as Doncella in Peru, Surubim in the Pantanal and Cerrado.
In Brazil, it anchors preparations from surubim na brasa — the benchmark of riverside churrasco.
No importer has ever brought it to market in a compliant, traceable foodservice format. Atlantissea is building the first, launching 2027.
Peru, Amazon Basin
