Traceability Journey
1. Caught in the North Atlantic Ocean
Our premium cod is sourced from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, specifically within the FAO27 fishing area off the coast of Iceland. Skilled fishermen aboard the MSC certified vessels, Sigurvin EA 380 and Ósk EA 012, employ traditional handlines and hand-operated pole-and-lines to catch the cod. After landing in Dalvík, Iceland, the fish is handled with care to maintain its superior quality and freshness.
2. Samherji Custom Processing
Upon arrival at Samherji’s MSC certified production plant in Dalvík, Iceland, the cod undergoes meticulous processing. The fish is expertly cleaned, cut into 6oz loins, and vacuum-packed to lock in freshness. This state-of-the-art facility uses advanced technology and adheres to rigorous quality control measures, ensuring that each loin is of the highest quality. Sustainability is central to our operations, with energy-efficient practices and a commitment to environmental responsibility.
3. Loading and Shipping at the Port of Reykjavik
The processed cod is then transported to the Port of Reykjavik. Here, final quality checks are performed before loading the cod into refrigerated containers provided by our partner, Eimskip. This step ensures the cod remains fresh throughout its transatlantic journey.
4. Inspection at the Port of Portland
Upon arrival in the United States, the cod is inspected at the Port of Portland. The FDA, USDA, and CBP conduct rigorous inspections to guarantee safety and compliance with quality standards. Maintaining the cold chain is crucial during this stage to preserve the cod's freshness.
5. Chicago Area Storage and Distribution
Finally, the cod reaches advanced refrigerated warehouses in the Chicago area. This central location facilitates efficient nationwide distribution, ensuring the cod is delivered fresh directly to your doorstep. From the pristine waters of Iceland to your dining table, every step of our cod's journey is designed to ensure you receive the highest quality product, sustainably sourced and impeccably fresh. We focus on delivering our cod directly to consumers, ensuring you enjoy the freshest product possible without intermediaries.
6. Distribution Across America
From the Chicago storage facilities, our cod is shipped to homes across the lower 48 states. Packaged in our signature pink branded boxes with insulation and dry ice, we ensure the cod remains frozen until it arrives at your doorstep. We partner with trusted logistics providers, primarily using UPS, and provide tracking information so you can follow your shipment every step of the way.
