Yellowfin sole is a species of flatfish found in the North Pacific Ocean, from the Bering Sea to Southern California. It has a distinctive body shape, with both eyes on one side of its body and a flattened appearance that makes it blend into the ocean floor. Yellowfin tuna is a nutritious source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids and other important nutrients, and is sustainably caught using responsible fishing methods. It is known for its delicate flavor and firm texture, making it a versatile fish that can be used in a wide range of dishes.
Plaice is an oval-shaped flatfish that is caught year-round in the North Sea and elsewhere. It is one of the most important fish species for Dutch fisheries. Dutch fishermen in the North Sea hold one-third of the European catch quota for this species. Plaice live on the sea floor and eat mollusks and worms. Razors and ragworms are live foods for plaice that are good for thickness and flavor. These species live in the soil, just like plaice. But what distinguishes May plaice from regular plaice?
At Neerlandia, we offer salmon for both wholesalers and retailers. Basically, these are the same fish, yet there is a difference in the fish processing. Our salmon comes directly from a farm in Norway, short lines and fast processing keeps the salmon as fresh as possible. In this way, we always deliver high quality fish. The difference between wholesale salmon and retail salmon lies in the later stages of processing, namely portioning and packing.
Neerlandia has started importing flatfish species directly from the United States since December 2021. Currently, there are major stock shortages due to the stagnation in the traditional supply of seafood. Therefore, the processing of rock sole, yellowfin sole and Alaska plaice is started. There is already great interest and a large number of applications.
