IQF Horse Mackerel

Our IQF Horse Mackerel is harvested from the pristine, nutrient‑rich waters of the Northeast Atlantic and the Western Pacific, where the species thrives in temperate currents. Sourced using responsible purse‑seine and trawl methods, the catch is processed within hours of landing to ensure peak freshness. Each fish is meticulously graded by size, thoroughly cleaned, and then individually quick‑frozen at ultra‑low temperatures. This advanced IQF technology forms micro‑scopic ice crystals that preserve the cellular structure, locking in the firm, white flesh and the delicate, mildly oceanic flavour that horse mackerel is known for. Unlike block‑frozen alternatives, IQF keeps each fish loose and free‑flowing, enabling precise portion control-ideal for busy restaurants, caterers, and home kitchens alike. Nutritionally, horse mackerel delivers an excellent source of high‑quality protein (18–20g per 100g), heart‑healthy omega‑3 fatty acids, and essential minerals including magnesium, zinc, and iron. Available in a comprehensive range of size grades-from 2/4 to 14/16 pieces per kilogram-and packaged in 10kg or 20kg master cartons with glazing options from 0% to 10%, our product meets the highest international standards with HACCP, BRC, MSC, and Halal certifications. Whether pan‑fried, deep‑fried, grilled, or used in soups and stews, IQF Horse Mackerel delivers consistent quality, sustainable sourcing, and outstanding value for global seafood buyers.
