Delivering quality to the world
Shetland Catch is the largest pelagic factory of its kind in Europe. Remotely located in the wild, clean waters of the North Atlantic - we are where the fish are. This means that we can guarantee our customers worldwide the freshest frozen mackerel and herring on the market.
The dust’s settled after last month’s Brussels Show and we’d like to say a big thank you to everybody who visited our stand. We enjoyed seeing you all and were only sorry we didn’t have any mackerel to sell!!
We haven’t had any production since the blue whiting finished in March. This is part of our seasonal pattern and we use the quiet time to repair or upgrade our processing equipment. Our engineers and factory staff are currently busy stripping down and cleaning our machinery in preparation for the herring season starting in August.
The sales team will be contacting our herring customers over the coming weeks to discuss their requirements. We’ll be producing a range of whole round, flaps & skinless fillets. Please contact us at sales@shetlandcatch.com if you have an interest to buy any of our herring products.
The mackerel season is expected to start in September and we anticipate a busy period until the quota is exhausted in November/December.
John Angus.
