Crispy Saithe Fillets

Our crispy saithe fillets are made of the Pollachius virens. This fish is also known by the names saithe, pollock, coalfish, coley and Boston blues. The saithe lives in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, which is also known as FAO fishing area 27. The fish can be found in the North Sea, Bay of Biscay and the Barents Sea too.

Catching area

Since the saithe lives in the North Sea too we are able to catch the fish ourselves.

However, sometimes we have to import the fish from China. But we can ensure you that our imported fish is processed, packaged and transported in perfectly hygienic conditions entirely in line with the international regulations. After the saithe is caught it is immediately processed and frozen to keep it fresh. When the fish is brought to our company in the Netherlands we bread it ourselves in our own ultra-modern and advanced production line. As a supplier we sell our crispy saithe fillets skinless, boneless, breaded and pre-fried. We also have saithe fillets portions that are not breaded available at our ‘Fish Worldwide’-page.

Since our crispy saithe fillets are breaded most of the taste come from the breadcrumbs. But when you bite in the breaded fillets you can still taste the sweet and delicate flavour of the saithe. One hundred grams of crispy saithe fillets contain around 146 calories. Thereby, the fillets are high in protein and B vitamins, which is the case with every fish product. Normally fish does not contain any carbohydrates, but our crispy saithe fillets do because of the breading. However, this may not be considered as a bad thing since carbohydrates are one of the main sources of energy for the human body.

Crispy saithe fillets are eaten in a lot of countries. However, we export our crispy saithe fillets mainly to the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Italy. In the United Kingdom the saithe is often used as an alternative to cod. This is why breaded saithe fillets are eaten a lot as a fish and chips dish nowadays. This dish can be served with mushy peas as a side dish. Crispy saithe fillets can also be eaten with a delicious salad or with herb roasted potato wedges, vegetables and lemons as a side dish. This will make a really delicious and healthy dish.
