FLYSHOOT FISH
Neerlandia-Urk has partnered with the Z-300 ‘Sola Gratia’ fishing vessel. This ship is used for various forms of sustainable fishing, fly shooting in winter and twin-rigging in the summer period.
Neerlandia-Urk has a selected assortment of flyshoot fishing. This sustainable fishing method guarantees fish of the best quality because the fish only stays in the net for a very short time. This fishing is practiced in parts of the North Sea and The English Channel.
Treating our natural resources responsibly so future generations can benefit from the food sources that nature offers us. This is Neerlandia-Urk’s point of departure for production.

FISHING TECHNIQUES
BEAMTRAWL/SUMWING
An iron tube holds the nets in place. Chains are attached to this to frighten the flatfish and draw them into the nets.
FLYSHOOT
A shot is set with two lines and a net. It is sailed a round and hauled back in at the end of the round.
TWINRIG/QUADRIG
2 (twin) or 4 (quad) nets are used at the stern of the vessel. And 2 or 4 shearboards that create clouds of dust to scare the fish and bring them into the nets.
ALASKA
FLATFISH
Neerlandia-Urk has started to import flatfish directly from the United States since December 2021. Currently, there are major stock shortages due to the stagnation in traditional seafood supplies. Therefore, the processing of rock sole, yellowfin sole, Alaska plaice etc., will be started. There is already great interest and a large number of applications.
Neerlandia’s product range will initially consist of American flatfish species caught in the Pacific Ocean. The catch area FAO 67 near Alaska.
The freezing of Pacific flatfish takes place directly on board the American trawlers. After the catch, the fish is immediately frozen and packed in transport boxes, so that it retains the highest possible quality.
The big advantage is that the ship can continue fishing until the hold is full. With greater distances and stormy weather conditions in Alaska, this is economically advantageous and above all sustainable.
The product range consists of:
YELLOWFIN SOLE (Limanda aspera)
This Pacific species of dab is comparable to Dutch dab from the North Sea in terms of flavour and structure. The quality, however, is slightly lower than that of North Sea fish. All Yellowfin sole is MSC certified.
ALASKA PLAICE (Pleuronectes quadrituberculatus)
This Pacific plaice species is comparable to Dutch plaice from the North Sea in terms of structure. However, the quality and taste is slightly lower compared to the variety from the North Sea. All Alaske plaice is MSC certified.
ROCKSOLE (Lepidopsetta bilineata)
It has a mild flavour and a firm texture. The name sole is somewhat confusing as it is a type of plaice. In Germany it is known as Pacific plaice and in Italy as Pacific flounder. All rocksole is MSC certified.
