Whole round products are produced after carefully monitored grading. The products are either packed in our fully automated packing lines and blast frozen or transferred to plate freezers. Daily freezing capacity is in excess of 800 m/t. Our modern hand filleting factories in Peterhead, Fraserburgh and Aberdeen incorporate large wet fish areas with grading, IQF and plate freezing facilities. A highly skilled workforce ensures that our fillets are produced to the highest standard for retail outlets in the UK and worldwide.
Within our processing areas, state-of-the-art pelagic filleting lines allow significant quantities of herring and mackerel to be filleted/processed by machine, followed by conventional or vacuum packing in cartons or plate frozen to suit customer requirements.
