On the other hand, the recent drop in haddock prices is natural in light of the huge spike in prices last year, she said. There s been an adjustment. It s completely normal. Some customers in the UK switched to cod… But there will be a shortage this year as well due to lower quotas.
More than the volumes of fish available in the past year, the challenge has been their size, said fleet manager Atle Vartdal. The majority of the catch has been in the size 16/32, while customers normally demand 8/16. But the market has adapted to it.
Although webtop most of Ramoen s catch is used for FAS fillets, it can also process the fish into H&G, while turning offcuts into fishmeal. The biggest fish is used that way, said Vartdal. This is then sent to klippfisk (bacalao) plants on the Norwegian shore.
Selling FAS fillets for the UK, and most of all its 10,500-odd fish and chips shops — an approximate figure, depending on how one classifies a chippy — is Vartdal s main activity by far, and continues to be its key focus.
Norwegian consumers are tired of poor-quality products. The trend now is to eat quality, locally-source food, said Florvaag. But the supermarkets, she said, are extremely price conscious. We have to compete with double frozen products and even pangasius and tilapia… There s a much higher quality focus in European supermarkets.
