Fishing Ground Map

Block

Fillets or pieces of meat are placed in a frame  or carton and frozen in a plate freezer. The sizes and out appearance are usually uniform and can easily be further processed into fish fingers or smaller cubes by machines.


Packing: 4x16.5lbs in blocks

Fillet

A fillet is a slice of meat that starts from behind the head down to the tail. The fillet can be with or without pinbones, skin-on or skinless.

 

Type of fillets:
V-cut: pinbone is removed along with the strip of flesh that is below the lateral line and 1/3 of the way back from the head.

J-cut: like the V-cut the pinbones are removed and the nape section of the fish is also removed. The nape is below the lateral line just before the belly.


Packing: 5/10kg in bulk IQF, 1kg bag IQF, interleaved or shatterpack

Portion

From a fillet, these are usually cut into smaller more individual sections which are normally sized in ounces or grams. A portion can be pinbone-in or pinbone-out. This cut is especially popular in foodservice.
