Galdi Fish supplies dried anchovy from Southern Iran for international wholesale and export markets. The product is supplied whole and head-on, naturally sun-dried and available in different size ranges according to buyer requirements.
For professional buyers, choosing a supplier is not only about finding the lowest price. Product size, moisture, salt level, sorting, packaging, shipment terms and consistency between orders can all influence the final commercial value.
Why Source Dried Anchovy from Iran?
Southern Iran has a long connection with fishing, fish drying and maritime trade.
Coastal regions such as Hormozgan and Qeshm Island have traditionally been involved in fishing and dried seafood trade. Galdi Fish continues this regional connection with a modern export-oriented approach.

Bulk Dried Anchovy for Importers and Wholesalers
Galdi Fish focuses primarily on bulk and wholesale dried anchovy supply.
Typical buyers include seafood importers, wholesalers, distributors, trading companies and regional food suppliers looking for container quantities.
For a useful quotation, buyers should provide several important details:
- Required anchovy size
- Quantity
- Preferred packaging
- Destination country
- Destination port
- Preferred trade term
For example:
Product: Iranian Dried Anchovy
Size: 4–5 cm
Quantity: 1 × 40ft container
Packaging: Carton
Destination: Colombo, Sri Lanka
Trade Term: CIF Colombo
Providing these details helps the exporter prepare a quotation that reflects both the product and current logistics requirements.
How Dried Anchovy Is Prepared for Export
The quality of dried anchovy depends not only on the raw fish but also on how it is processed, dried, sorted and packed.
The Galdi Fish supply process includes:
Catch & Supply
Anchovy is sourced from the southern waters of Iran.
Cleaning & Preparation
The fish is cleaned and prepared before drying.
Salting
A controlled amount of salt is used as part of the preservation process.
Sun Drying
The fish is naturally dried to reduce moisture and prepare it for storage and international shipment.
Sorting
Finished dried anchovy is sorted according to size and quality.
Packaging
The product is packed according to the buyer’s requirements and destination market.
You can review the complete dried anchovy processing and export packaging process to see how the product moves from sourcing to final packing.
Dried Anchovy Sizes for Wholesale Orders
Size is one of the most important specifications when purchasing wholesale dried anchovy.
Different markets can have different preferences regarding the size and appearance of dried fish.
Galdi Fish currently offers four main size ranges:
3–4 cm
A smaller size grade for markets requiring compact and relatively uniform dried anchovy.
4–5 cm
A versatile size suitable for a variety of wholesale and distribution requirements.
5–6 cm
A larger grade for buyers whose customers prefer more visible individual fish.
6–7 cm
The largest standard size currently offered by Galdi Fish.
Before confirming a container order, buyers should specify the required size and make sure it matches the expectations of their local market.
Wholesale Dried Anchovy Packaging
Packaging is another important consideration for dried seafood importers.
It can affect storage, handling, transportation and distribution after the shipment reaches the destination country.
Available packaging formats can include:
- PP bags
- PE packaging
- Vacuum packaging
- Carton boxes
The final packing configuration can be adjusted according to the order and destination requirements.
Importers should ideally discuss packaging before the final quotation, especially when local labelling, retail repacking or specific carton configurations are required.
Dried Anchovy Supplier vs. Dried Anchovy Exporter
Buyers searching online often use phrases such as dried anchovy supplier, dried anchovy exporter and wholesale dried anchovy supplier interchangeably.
For an international buyer, however, the ideal partner should be able to support more than simple product supply.
A professional export-oriented supplier should be able to discuss:
- Product sizes and specifications
- Bulk availability
- Packing requirements
- Destination market
- Export preparation
- Trade terms
- Shipping arrangements
- Current quotation requirements
Galdi Fish is structured around international wholesale buyers and full-container supply. More information about the commercial approach and advantages for buyers is available on the Why Galdi Fish page.

Galdi Fish can discuss orders under several common international trade terms:
EXW – The buyer arranges transportation from the agreed collection point.
FOB – The shipment is supplied according to FOB conditions at the agreed port.
CFR / CNF – Product and ocean freight are quoted to the named destination port.

How to Request a Wholesale Dried Anchovy Price
Dried anchovy export prices are not always fixed.
Several factors can affect the final quotation, including:
- Fish size
- Product availability
- Quantity
- Packaging
- Destination country
- Destination port
- Shipping costs
- Trade term
For this reason, professional buyers should send a detailed inquiry rather than asking only for a general price per kilogram.
