The Cod is caught based on strict allocated quotas in the sustainable fisheries to provide valuable and unique fish for your shops. Steps are taken at every point of the fishing process to ensure that JFK’s frozen-at-sea products are as fresh as possible.
Fresher than Fresh – Frozen at Sea
The production process on board this vessel seals in the freshness. Gadus production has been called fresher than fresh as a result of being frozen within four hours of leaving the sea. The faster the freezing process the less drip loss. Drip loss is the loss of weight and freshness of the fillets.
Skin On and Skin Less, Traditional Grades – Sizes
Gadus Cod fillets are available in traditional sizes; 5-8oz, 8-16oz, 16-32oz and 32oz +. They are available either as Skin On, Pin Bone In Fillets or Skinless, Pin Bone In Fillets.
