Atlantic Salmon is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, protein and other nutrients, which are all fundamental elements in a healthy diet. On these pages you can find information about our conventional salmon products.

FILLETS

The salmon fillets are made at our processing plant from the freshest raw material to ensure the highest quality possible. The fillets are cut based on a trimming scale from A to F, depending on the customers requirement and packed according to your wish. Kindly refer to our trim guide here for more details.

Post-rigor filets

In order to remove the bones from salmon fillets, the salmon have to be in post rigor-mortis state. This state will happen after 3-4 days, and the fish will then be immediately filleted and the bones will be removed. This is the most common product for customers who need the convenience of not removing the bones themselves.

Pre-rigor

Right after harvesting and gutting, the fish is transported into the filleting facility and starts being processed. It usually takes just under 2 hours from the time the fish is swimming in the water to the moment when the salmon fillet is packed and ready for dispatch.

Arctic Fillet and Wilsgård are located right next door from each other, which allows us the opportunity to offer pre-rigor fillets. Villa Seafood continually works on improving the logistics and production techniques to ensure the freshest possible salmon fillet available.

There are several benefits with pre-rigor fillets:

The freshest possible fillet on the market
Improved food safety and yield
Less handling
Firmer texture
Environmentally friendly (less packaging and water used)

PORTIONS

Salmon portions are made from fillets, they require no further processing and are easy to cook and are perfect for retail, household or HORECA.

The salmon portions are the most convenient products, ready to be cooked straight from the package with no further work having to be done. These portions can be made according to your specifications and needs. We deliver both fresh or frozen portions, packed individually (IVP) or in chainpack, 2-8 portions.
