Freezing
The company has 12 operational blast freezers where boxed and palletised fish is frozen. Specific order requirements can be catered for on request.
Quality and Inspection
As a primary supplier to secondary processors (canneries and smokehouses) who provide products to major UK and International retailers the company must and does comply with the rigorous and exacting procedures and audits required.
Northbay Pelagic has of course full traceability on all fish landed to the factory and has Marine Stewardship Council certification for the facility.
The company has full H.A.C.C.P controls in place.
The Quality Control department within the facility has its own sophisticated lab to ensure all necessary tests are carried through and they constantly check for grades, fat levels and fish temperature to ensure the product is of the highest quality at all times. The lab also checks for salmonella, listeria, TBVN, histamine and nematodes and other parasitic pests.
Northbay Pelagic welcomes on-site inspections by customers during the processing of their orders.
Cold Store
The owners of Northbay Pelagic are committed to on-going investment in the business to make the facility in Peterhead one of the most efficient pelagic processing factories in the world.
One of the major areas of investment has been in the cold store facilities on site which now total 17,000 tonnes making it one of the largest and most modern pelagic fish cold stores in the UK.
Distribution
With the help of our own small fleet of refrigerated trucks, Northbay Pelagic exports across Europe and world wide offering distribution of fresh and frozen fish to fit all customer requirements.
In addition our shipping team work closely with shipping lines and freight forwarders to provide customers with excellent shipping options out of Granagemouth port.
