Heads

Heads

Fish heads are a by-product from the fishing industry, sourced from various fish species, often whitefish like cod, saithe, and haddock, as well as salmon, which inhabit diverse marine environments. The quality and size of the heads vary with the species and the fish's size, but they are recognized as a valuable raw material. The availability of heads follows the fishing seasons for the respective species, meaning they are largely available year-round thanks to modern processing methods. Fish heads contain a significant yield of meat remnants, collagen, and nutrients, making them highly suitable for further processing into products like fishmeal, fish oil, stock, and broth, or as an ingredient in animal feed. They are also popular in certain culinary traditions.

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.
