Southern hake medallion · story and datasheet

The austral hake medallion is a traditional high-rotation presentation within the retail and food service channel.

Processed via standardized cross-sectional cutting and individually frozen in IQF, it delivers consistent weight, operational ease and precise food cost control in restaurants, hotels and professional kitchens.

Its white, firm and delicate flesh, together with its traditional cut featuring a central bone, make it a highly valued reference in both Chile and European markets.

  • Uniform portions that facilitate cost control and kitchen yield.
  • High-rotation format for retail, hotels and food service.
  • IQF product that allows partial use without thawing the entire batch.
