Golden Redfish
Gullkarfi • Sebastes marinus • Gallineta nórdica • Sébaste Rotbarsch • Rødfisk • Morskoi okun’ • Akauo
Golden redfish is caught all year by the company’s wetfish and freezer trawlers, especially in late winter; the best fishing grounds are west and southwest of Iceland.
Redfish is processed as soon as it is taken aboard the freezer trawlers, either headed or filleted. In the wetfish trawlers the catch is iced in tubs and kept chilled to preserve the quality of the fish. The fish is then processed on land in the company’s plant, where it is headed and filleted by machine. The fillets are then trimmed and size-graded according to the requirements of the buyer. Finally, the fillets are either IQF frozen or packed chilled and airlifted the same day to the European market.
