Backs with swim bladder

Backs with swim bladder

Backbones with swim bladder are a significant by-product from the fishing industry, primarily sourced from whitefish species such as cod, saithe, and haddock. This part of the fish consists of the backbone with attached meat remnants and the valuable swim bladder. The quality and size of the raw material depend on the fish species and individual size. The availability of backbones with swim bladder is closely linked to the fishing seasons for these species, meaning they are available year-round thanks to continuous processing and freezing. Backbones with swim bladder are a sought-after raw material for further processing, as they are rich in protein, collagen, and other nutrients. They are highly suitable for the production of fishmeal and fish oil, as well as collagen for health supplements and cosmetics, and as a base for fish stock and broth.

Liver

Liver, often from cod, is a nutritious part of the fish located in the abdominal cavity. Its size varies with the fish's age and condition, but it can constitute a significant portion of the fish's total weight. The availability of liver is directly linked to the fishing seasons for cod and similar species, meaning it's primarily available from January to April, but also as a by-product throughout the rest of the year. Liver is known for its very high content of vitamins A and D, as well as essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3. This makes it a valuable ingredient traditionally used for cod liver oil production, but also as a delicacy in dishes like cod with liver and roe, or as liver pâté.
