My time as a fish filleter during my youth would have been a delight if I’d worked on the haddock that now arrives on the filleting table.

Trials with live storage of haddock are showing very promising results. If haddock is caught alive and kept in tanks up to slaughter, high quality products may be produced of the entire catch.

The goal of the WHITEFISH project is to strengthen the competitiveness of the European cod/haddock industry by documenting the desirable characteristics of whitefish caught in the north-east Atlantic, in particular relating to sustainability.
