Processing Octopus into fresh and frozen products

The processing of octopus at Neerlandia Urk is deliberately simple and focused on maintaining quality. The octopus is gutted on arrival, sorted, checked for freshness and delivered frozen or fresh immediately. Neerlandia Urk only supplies whole octopus, both fresh octopus and frozen octopus, depending on the customer's requirements and the origin of the product. Keeping the product as natural as possible maintains versatility and allows customers to choose how they process the octopus - ideal for customers specifically seeking raw octopus for further preparation. This approach fits well with both the catering industry and specialty fish processors who have high demands for raw material quality.

Import of fresh Octopus to the Netherlands

Neerlandia Urk imports different species of octopus, including Octopus vulgaris, from sustainable fishing areas such as the North Sea, but also from traditional fishing areas for the same species of octopus, such as off the African coast and the Spanish coast. These are the main regions where Octopus vulgaris is normally caught, and they are always the same species of octopus. Instead of frozen imports, Neerlandia Urk actually buys day-fresh octopus. This is processed and offered super fresh or fresh frozen immediately upon arrival, depending on the customer's wishes. Through close and long-term cooperation with international suppliers, Neerlandia Urk can count on constant quality and fully traceable origins. This makes us a reliable octopus partner for companies looking for fresh octopus and frozen octopus, with an increasing focus on sustainable fishing methods and certification.
