Dried salted codfish is a product with long manufacturing traditions in Sweden/Norway, dating back to the early 1900s. It is a well established traditional product in Portugal, Brazil, Central America and Central and West Africa.
The most commonly used fish is cod and saithe, but ling, haddock and tusk is also enjoyable. The fish is salted, matured and dried, before it is controlled and packed. By applying traditional production methods, free of additives, we ensure rich and delicately balanced flavor.
FROZEN AT SEA FILLETS
The fish is caught, and the head and gut are removed. Next, the fish is cut in fillets. The skin might be removed, according to the consumers preferences (customized). The fillet is sorted into different sizes, before packed interleaved in carton and frozen in contact freezers. The fillets are frozen to -18° within max 3 hours and stored in -25°C. No artificial additives are used in the production onboard the vessel.
The following species are frozen at sea as filets:
COD – GADUS MORHUA
The cod is among the most important salt water fish and it can be found in large parts of the North Atlantic Ocean. The cod feed on other fish, crustaceans and plankton, and is a product full of proteins, vitamin B12 and selenium.
SAITHE – POLLACHIUS VIRENS
The saithe can gather in large packs where they find good nutrition, such as herring, fish fry, plankton and crustaceans. This is an excellent source of proteins, vitamin D, B12 and selenium.

HADDOCK – MALENOGRAMMUS AEGLEFINUS
The haddock is very recognizable due to its big black mark below its foremost dorsal fin. It lives on depths between 40 – 300 meters, and is a good source for proteins, vitamin A, B12 and selenium

HEADED AND GUTTED
The fish is caught and immediately headed and gutted. Next, the fish is graded before frozen in a vertical plate freezer. Frozen to -20° within max 3 hours and stored in -25°C. No artificial additives are used in the production onboard the vessel.
