Product Description
Master Meat’s frozen salmon and cod cubes are a high-quality, ready-to-process B2B product designed for the food industry, foodservice (HoReCa), and international export. This raw material blend consists of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), cod (Gadus morhua), and saithe (Pollachius virens), precisely cut from frozen blocks into uniform 20 × 20 × 20 mm cubes (with max. 5% tolerance).
These cubes combine the delicate texture of salmon with the firmness of cod and saithe. Produced under strict HACCP and BRC-certified systems, they are an ideal ingredient for industrial production of fish-based meals, coated products, and ready-to-eat dishes. The product is virtually boneless, non-GMO, non-irradiated, and meets EU food safety regulations.
