Cod

ÍSLAND FISKUR Cod is among Iceland’s most valuable and traditional fish, achieving exceptional top quality in the 8kg+ with head category. It is caught by Icelandic day boats, which adhere to strictly regulated quotas and operate with particular care. The line-caught method ensures that each cod is landed undamaged, clean, and in absolutely perfect condition. Most catches carry the MSC certificate, signifying sustainable, responsible fishing. After landing, the cod is traded at the Icelandic auction on the same day and then hand-processed in small, family-run businesses. The fish are gutted, cleaned, and prepared in impressive sizes of 8kg+ with head – ideal for professional kitchens expecting the highest yield and consistent premium quality. Immediately afterwards, the goods are flown directly to Germany via Keflavík Airport. With no intermediate storage, no detours. The cod reaches the fish counter or professional kitchen after approximately 48 hours – with a freshness that is almost unsurpassed in Germany. Cod itself is one of the finest white cold-water fish of the North Atlantic. Its flesh is firm, snow-white yet tender, with an elegant, fine texture and a clear, mild flavour that is particularly valued in top gastronomy. In this size, it provides an excellent fillet yield and a quality that is significantly above the market standard. ÍSLAND FISKUR Cod with head is not ordinary merchandise – it is genuine Icelandic premium quality: sustainably caught, hand-processed, sensorially flawless, and with a freshness that surpasses even the highest professional demands.
