We Are Unique!

Full Control Throughout the Supply Chain From the Net To Your Door

Unique Seafood Group is one of the UK’s main players in the seafood industry, supplying dependable, consistent quality and quantity fish at great value direct from our partner vessels at sea, without any middlemen. They are Unique; a professional and trustworthy supplier, building long-term relationships in the wholesale, industrial, retail and food service sectors in the UK, Europe and further afield - and supplying direct to Britain’s Fish & Chip Shops, Takeaways and Restaurants. They are also the exclusive distributor from the Norwegian vessel Granit.

As well as superb seafood they stock a vast choice of leading quality chicken, sausages, burgers, pies, pasties, pancake rolls, buns, baps, breaded and battered foods, plus halal and vegetarian foods.

The Granit is one of the largest, most technologically advanced, Norwegian fishing vessels afloat and represents a milestone for Norway’s fleet: A magnificent example of engineering, with hygienic state-of-the-art facilities for high volume catching of MSC certified source cod, haddock and prawns, rapid processing, freezing and storing at sea as well as separate forward storage for fish oil and fishmeal.

Harald Nissen, Managing Director of the Unique Seafood Group, said, “Unique Seafood is Granit’s trusted UK partner, working with the Granit owners and their previous Granit vessel for 20 years. We can now further build on our Unique advantage of supplying consistent specification fish to the UK market in continuous volumes from a MSC sustainable source, which is a key message.”

Unique Seafood can help fish friers to tackle current industry challenges and maximise the value from each fish box they order. Granit’s latest on-board processing technology, automated consistent fillet cutting, and portioning saves the fish frier time, avoids the need to cut fish on their premises and avoids waste too. We’ve produced a guide showing fish cut options so Unique customers can order the fillets that provide the best value for their menus.”

“We are in a position to work with fish friers in the UK, supplying top quality MSC source

fish direct from the Granit vessel via Unique and to specification to help build financially successful businesses and customer loyalty for the frier,” added Harald Nissen.

“Friers have become more professional in building and maintaining their reputation for quality and are educating their customers about the fish they serve. More customers want sustainable sourcing to ensure the industry has a future and know the Barents Sea is an MSC approved source. The market is changing very quickly and we on the supplyside are helping chippies to be in front of the market, not behind. The investment in the latest Granit fishing vessel and processing technologies makes sound economics for the fishing company and for end customers alike, as well as making Granit one of the most environmentally friendly vessels in the world.”

Each fishing trip is more productive, from catching, to processing, to on-board freezer storage capacity, ensuring continuous and consistent top quality Norwegian seafood supplies synonymous with the Granit name.

The Granit’s on-board processing uses the very latest de-heading, filleting, skinning, cutting, portioning, weighing, and freezing technologies, saving fish friers labour, reducing waste and controlling costs. Austen Dack Chippy Chat Editor was with the 2020 NF&CA Top Ten fish friers who went out on the Fjords onboard Granit via Alesund. “What an incredible experience seeing The Granit first-hand. The facilities are superb, the investment astonishing, and the Granit catch is caught processed and frozen fresh in a matter of hours all onboard!” Chatting to Martin Brown Sales Director from Unique Seafood onboard Granit Austen said, “It is clear to see Unique Seafood have developed a special relationship with the whole Granit ‘family’, over a number of years which enables them to serve British Fish and chip shops the absolute best FAS fish.” Martin Said “Yes, it is a very special partnership one in which we can react to what friers want very quickly. We are also now producing tight graded skinless and boneless fillets, 4-6, 6-8, 8-10, 10-12oz Cod Fillets. We have seen a recent shift in the marketplace for this, and the Granit is the best bet to supply you.”
