Plaice fillet

The ÍSLAND FISKUR Plaice Fillet, sized 150g+ with skin, is among the finest flatfish products from the Icelandic fishery. The plaice is caught by Icelandic day boats, which adhere to strictly regulated quotas and employ particularly gentle fishing methods. This ensures that each fish arrives at port in pristine condition, forming the basis for fillets of this exceptional quality. The catch is almost entirely MSC-certified and represents genuine, responsible sustainability. Following the auction, the plaice is processed by hand in small, family-run filleting businesses. The fillets are cleanly removed from the fish, precisely trimmed, and cut with the skin on. The skin preserves the structure, provides excellent frying characteristics, and enhances the delicate, mildly sweet aroma of these exquisite plaice fillets. Immediately after, the product is flown directly to Germany via Keflavík. Within 48 hours, the product is with the customer – fresher and sensorially clearer than the usual market standard. ÍSLAND FISKUR Plaice Fillet 150g+ with skin is not an ordinary product – it is genuine Icelandic top quality: sustainably caught, masterfully hand-processed, and with a freshness that far exceeds professional standards.

This plaice fillet is sourced from sustainable coastal fishing and is carefully filleted after being caught. The white skin remains on the fillet, ensuring a stable structure and good shape retention during cooking. The portion size of 120 g and upwards allows for consistent processing and attractive presentation. The flesh is pale, fine-fibred, and has a tender yet stable texture. The aroma is mild and clean, typical of flatfish from cool fishing grounds. When cooked, the fillet develops a succulent consistency and a clean cut. The fillet is suitable for pan-frying on the skin, braising, steaming, or for oven dishes. It can also be used effectively in delicatessen preparations or light fish dishes.
