Processing Cod Fish into Cod Fillet

Within Neerlandia, cod is processed in different ways, depending on the needs of customers in retail and hospitality. Both fillets and portions are produced, and both fresh and frozen products are available. The fish is carefully filleted, de-veined and, if necessary, portioned. Thanks to modern processing lines and strict quality control, the characteristic structure and mild taste of the cod are well preserved. The fish is packaged in consumer-friendly or bulk packaging suitable for various markets.

Import of Cod Fish to Neerlandia Urk

Neerlandia imports cod from the cold waters of the North Atlantic, primarily from areas around Iceland, Norway and the Barents Sea. These regions are known for their rich cod stocks and sustainable fishing practices. Neerlandia cooperates with reliable suppliers and auction partners, so that the fish can be brought in chilled or frozen shortly after capture. Thanks to this close cooperation and short supply lines, the quality of the cod remains optimal.
