Leng Tails

ÍSLAND FISKUR Ling Tails are among the finest fillet cuts that ÍSLAND has to offer. The ling is caught by Icelandic day boats, which operate under strictly regulated quotas and use particularly gentle line-fishing methods. This ensures that every fish arrives on board undamaged, clean, and in perfect condition – a quality that distinguishes ÍSLAND worldwide. Almost all catches are MSC-certified and stand for responsible, sustainable fishing. After landing, the ling is sold the same day at the Icelandic auction and then hand-processed in small, family-run filleting businesses. The tails are precisely trimmed, skinned, and cut to a premium size of 150g or more – perfect for professional kitchens that value consistent, high-quality portions. The goods are then shipped directly from Keflavík Airport to Germany on a direct flight. Without intermediate storage and without detours, this product reaches fish counters and professional kitchens in around 48 hours – with a freshness and flavour profile that is almost unique in the market. The ling itself is a valued North Atlantic demersal fish with snow-white, firm yet tender flesh. Its taste is mild, elegant, and exceptionally pure, with a subtle sea note and a structure that holds up perfectly during cooking. The tails are skinless and ideally suited for numerous preparation methods – whether pan-frying, steaming, or gently braising. ÍSLAND FISKUR Ling Tails are not ordinary goods – they represent genuine Icelandic premium quality: sustainably caught, carefully hand-processed, and with a freshness that effortlessly surpasses even the highest professional demands.
