Processing

Urk-Export is specialised in the processing of flat and round fish, particularly sole, turbot, plaice and cod.

Filleting
In our own filleting-department a group of capable assistants are daily filleting the fresh fish by hand in a very conscientious way, so that the quality can be guaranteed.

Packing
When the fresh fish comes in from the various auctions we immediately start checking the fish and packing it up in all possible kinds of package. All this is done in an air-conditioned room to keep the temperature of our products under control.

Freezing
In our freezing-chambers the fish products are deep-frozen up to minus 40 degrees (Centigrade) to preserve the quality.

Crumbing
It is also possible to add a thin layer of crumbs to our products, in various colours and tastes.

Retail packaging
Immediately after the freezing-process the product is packed up in special packets intended for our consumers: 400 gm, 500 gm, 1 kg. and so on.

Distribution
Immediately after processing the fish is transported to wholesale dealers, who organise further distribution to supermarkets, restaurants and fish shops.
