Description
Southern hake whole IQF · story and datasheet
Southern hake, also known as southern fish or merluza del sur, is one of the most commercially valued white fish species in southern Chile.
Captured in the southern waters of Aysén and Magallanes under fisheries regulated by quota, it stands out for its white, firm flesh and delicate flavor, highly appreciated in European and Asian markets.
Its whiter, firmer flesh and lower fat content position it in the premium white fish category in Spain, Japan, and Korea.
Its whole IQF format allows the buyer to perform their own portioning, maximizing operational flexibility and industrial yield.
- Premium white fish with high international demand.
- Whole format ideal for industrial or gastronomic portioning.
