The trawlers fish during the period of October-November as the stocks of the Scomber Scombrus mackerel are particularly large during these months. Likewise, the mackerel’s fat content is at its highest, and thus the best, during this period.
Throughout these two months the trawlers fish what is equivalent to a year of production to preserve the mackerel stocks in the ocean. At the same time, we reduce our storage. The trawlers fish in accordance with the official EU quotas.
Our mackerel is IQF-frozen, which means that every mackerel is frozen individually. After the nobbing machine has removed the mackerel’s head and tail, the mackerel is individually frozen and stored in separate cells in our own cold store facilities.
As a result of this, the traceability is ensured – from the time of the catch until the mackerel lands in the stores. The ensured traceability is guarantee for origin and high quality.
At SAEBY our mantra is “we take responsibility for our work, and with a strong will we will succeed.”
