Some flavours
take you home.

Our founder grew up in a fishing community on the shores of Lake Victoria, where omena fed families and sustained livelihoods. Omena began with a simple belief: this familiar food deserved careful handling and dependable packaging, all the way to your table.

We buy directly from East African fishing communities at fair prices, working with fishermen who use responsible harvesting practices. From our roots in Kenya to our home in Texas, we bring a taste of that tradition to households and businesses across the USA.
