Variety of Hake fish products at your disposition

The Latin name for Namibian water Hake is called MERLUCCIUS CAPENSIS or PARADOXUS. It is caught at sea by trawlers and long liners. The catch area is in the South-East Atlantic (FAO 47). 

The production procedures are as follows:


Firstly, the headed and gutted hake is de-iced or de-scaled. It is then cleaned, pouched, packed and blast frozen in accordance with good commercial practice to attain a product temperature of -18oC or below after thermal stabilization. After that, a protective glaze of ± 5% is placed. The product can be used best before 24 months from date of production.


The piece weight and product measurements depend on the client's requirements. Each piece is pouched in plastic and no pouched is to be embedded on the product. It can also be packed interleaved on request.  The product packed together with the carton can be a random weight of (+/- 7,5Kg) or (+/-11Kg). 


For the packaging and labeling, if you want to put your own labeling, we are at your disposition or we can do our own packaging which include the name of product, Latin name, EU approval number, Best before and expiry date, address of manufacturer, EAN  128 bar code, FAO area, storage condition and product of Namibia.
