North Sea Herring Cuplea Harengus

The fishing season starts mid June when the vessels catch the Majies herring (Very High fat herring for the Dutch market). By the first of July (16% fat) the main herring fishing starts with fish being landed between 100-350g. By mid August we also start fishing for the roe herring were we get a high yeid of apporx 20% for the female fish. The fishing goes on untill December but by then the fat levels have come down to between 8-10%.
The herring is normally caught by trawler and all of the vessels have good RSW tanks. As the fishing grounds are very close to the factories the herring arrives in first class condition. Again the fish is either whole frozen or processed by machiene.
