THREE SUSTAINABLE FRESH FISH PRODUCTS FOR HOSPITALITY

Written by Nancy Van Neyghem Regional Sales Manager Foodservice Belgium

The demand for sustainable and high-standard food has never been higher. Customers care about the quality of what is on their plates and where it comes from. Nancy Van Neyghem from Mowi Belgium will introduce some sustainable fresh fish solutions to consider adding to your menus to delight your customers.

Three sustainable fish products to consider

1. Farm-raised Atlantic Salmon

We are part of Mowi ASA, a leading global seafood company and the world's largest producer of Atlantic salmon. With a fully integrated value chain from salmon feed and eggs to final product, we offer tasty, healthy, nutritious and responsible products of the highest quality for your customers.

2. MOWI Professional Smoked salmon

Mowi Belgium in Ostend is Belgium’s only fully integrated salmon smokehouse.

The salmon fillets are traditionally dry-salted with pure sea salt and then dried for 18-24 hours in a conditioned maceration room. Next, they are smoked on beech wood, giving the salmon their delicate smoky flavour. A crucial step after smoking is maturation: this gives the product time to develop the intense flavour that makes top-quality smoked salmon special.

3. MSC-certified fresh fish from Iceland

To offer the best quality fresh whitefish, we have partnered with

Icelandic fishing and fish processing companies for the daily supply of fresh fish. The time between catch, processing and delivery is kept as short as possible to provide topquality fresh fish.

Our range of MSC-certified Icelandic fish includes cod, saithe, plaice, redfish, haddock, lemon sole and catfish.
