Production: Skillfully refining precious ingredients
Craftsmanship and innovative technology shape our high-quality products with distinctive quality.
Tradition meets Technology
The combination of traditional craftsmanship and innovative technology is at the heart of our production: While filleting is fully automated, salting is deliberately done by hand – for maximum precision and consistently excellent quality.
Salting with a delicate touch
Our salmon are predominantly dry-salted by hand with coarse fishing salt. This way, the fish slowly loses water, develops a firm texture, and acquires its characteristic flavor. Hand-curing creates fine, balanced aromas. A subsequent long maturation period makes the salmon perfect.
Responsible Smoking
We smoke exclusively over local hardwood chips – using both hot and cold smoking methods. Our eels are traditionally refined in an Altona oven, while the salmon are predominantly cold-smoked with particular care.
Precision meets Technology
Our cutting and packaging systems operate with state-of-the-art technology and utmost precision. AI-supported systems portion each fish optimally – for example, two salmon slices at exactly 50 g. This way, we combine artisanal standards with digital precision and consistent quality.
Certified Quality from Germany
Our products bear the identification mark: an oval symbol with details of the country of production and the establishment – for us, almost exclusively at the Zetel-Neuenburg site.
