The Pesquera Magallanes Advantage: Deep-Water Harvesting and Precision Processing
Our Southern Hake’s superior quality starts with its origin. The species inhabits depths up to 1000 meters. We employ controlled, sustainable fishing methods to protect the marine ecosystem. After harvest, we immediately bleed and chill the catch to preserve freshness. Furthermore, our skilled processors hand-fillet the fish with precision. They carefully remove skin and bones to meet strict B2B specs.
Next, each fillet undergoes an Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) process. This rapid freezing technique locks in the fresh-caught taste and moisture. Moreover, it prevents large ice crystals from forming. As a result, you receive a product with excellent shelf life and minimal thawing loss. The IQF method also ensures fillets remain separate, which provides unparalleled convenience for kitchen operations.
