Bellies

Bellies

Fish bellies are a by-product from the fishing industry derived from various fish species, often fatty fish like salmon, herring, and mackerel. The belly area is known for its high fat content and rich flavor, which varies depending on the fish's species and nutritional condition. The availability of bellies follows the fishing seasons for the relevant species, meaning they are largely available year-round thanks to modern freezing techniques and the continuous operation of the fishing industry. Bellies are a valuable raw material highly suitable for further processing, including the production of fish oil due to their high omega-3 content. They can also be used in fishmeal, or as a culinary delicacy in various dishes.

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.
