COD
Atlantic cod (Gadus Morhua) – cod family sea predatory fish, which reaches up to a length of 1.8 m, but in the fishery the average length is around 40-80 cm. Cod is a northern fish that inhabits predominantly the cold waters of northern hemisphere. Cod has a delicate taste and contains a huge number of useful properties: this fish is rich in vitamins, trace elements and essential fatty acids. Atlantic cod meat is a dietary product with a large amount of protein and relatively low fat content.
PRODUCTION STAGES
1. CATCH
Vessels of FCF “Belomorskij Ribak” catch Atlantic cod using the bottom trawl. Depending on fishing, fishing vessels produce an average of 4-5 trawls per day. Atlantic cod is fished year-round almost in the entire Barents Sea and adjacent seas.
2. ASSORTING
Immediately after fishing, our Atlantic cod instantly falls into production sorting lines, where fish are separated by size. Then the fish goes to the fish processing factory, where further processing takes place.
3. PROCESSING
During processing, the fish undergoes a mechanized cutting of the type H / G (Head off Gutted), during that process the head and entrails of the fish are removed. This cutting ensures the rational use of fish raw materials, helps to preserve the freshness of cod and facilitates further coastal processing.
4. REFRIGERATION AND PACKAGING
At the end of processing, containers with fish products are subjected to contact freezing in special freezers at an air temperature of minus 30-35 C. After that fresh-frozen fish products are packaged in kraft bags weighing 20-25 kg and delivered to the hold for storage.
One of the fundamental factors in preserving the beneficial properties and taste is the freezing of fish immediately after fishing. Vessels of FCF “Belomorskij Ribak” have high-tech production lines, which allows to quickly process fish after catching. Time between fishing and freezing does not exceed 2 hours, which allows the Atlantic cod produced by FCF “Belomorskij Ribak” to preserve its useful properties and quality to the maximum.
