Eat for Conservation

Eating and protecting the environment? Yes, that is possible! We label those delicacies with “Eat for Conservation”, which are invasive species that threaten the local flora and fauna in their living space. Removing them from the ecosystem is therefore active nature conservation.

Ike-Jime  活け締め

This Japanese method is probably the most respectful way of slaughtering a fish. Death is induced immediately by a quick and targeted stab to the head, after which a wire is passed through the spine to stop any reflexes. This reduces the consumption of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the muscle tissue. ATP is a short-term source of energy that is crucial for the quality of the fish. During the maturing process of the fish, ATP is broken down into inosinate, among other things, which results in a rich umami flavor. In other words, the calmer a fish is and therefore the more ATP is present in the muscle tissue, the better the quality and taste.

Flash Frozen

“Flash Frozen” stands for the highest quality in our frozen delicacies. Flash freezing, which freezes the products at -40° within a very short time, leads to such small ice crystals in the tissue that the cell structures in the tissue remain intact compared to conventional freezing in a household freezer. This prevents unnecessary water loss during defrosting and preparation and the quality is fully preserved.
Flash-frozen products are also characterised by the fact that they are deep-frozen at the ideal degree of ripeness or at the peak of the season, allowing the best quality to be offered.
