Frozen Atlantic salmon mince is a fish raw material in the form of MSM minced meat, intended for further processing. The product is made from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, originating from the Atlantic Ocean, FAO area 27. The raw material is obtained after filleting, by passing the backbones through a separator and collecting the meat pulp for further forming.
Salmon mince is frozen in blocks and prepared with B2B customers in mind. It is suitable for the production of wet food, premium recipes, artisanal pet food, and pet food products based on a fish ingredient. The natural orange colour, typical salmon smell, and compact structure make it easier to assess the raw material before further processing. The product requires additional processing in line with the customer’s technology.
