Buying spanish mackerel
Agree the species and cut before comparing offers. Fillet trimming, skin, bones, net fish weight and glaze should be listed separately; a whole-fish weight is not a fillet-size specification.
We can arrange independent pre-shipment inspection and quality control, including OFCO, on request. Inspection, testing and buyer approval requirements are agreed before the order.
Questions about spanish mackerel
How should I specify the size of Spanish Mackerel?
Use a weight range and unit for the actual product being ordered: whole fish, fillet, steak or portion. Specify whether the weight is before or after deglazing and agree any size tolerance.
Can Spanish Mackerel be supplied with a particular trim?
Send your requirements for skin, bones, trimming and portion shape. We check these against the selected supplier’s specification and confirm the cut before ordering.
What should I include in a bulk Spanish Mackerel enquiry?
Include the species, cut, size range, net weight, glaze or treatment requirements, packing, quantity and destination. Any factory approval or certification requirement should be stated at the start.
