Flatfish, such as flounder, sole, and halibut, are an important seafood commodity globally, providing a nutritious and versatile protein source. This industry plays a significant role in the broader food and beverage sector, contributing to international trade and food security.

Production process

The production of frozen flatfish involves several key steps. First, the fish are caught using specialized fishing methods, such as trawling or gillnetting. They are then transported to processing facilities, where they are cleaned, filleted, and frozen using advanced freezing technologies to preserve their freshness and quality. The frozen fillets or whole fish are then packaged and distributed to various markets and consumers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the frozen flatfish industry include the raw fish material, which is sourced from commercial fishing operations. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for processing, freezing, and packaging the fish products. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also essential for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of the frozen flatfish industry is the frozen fish products, which are then distributed to various markets and consumers. These frozen flatfish products may be consumed directly by households or used as inputs for other food processing industries, such as 21221 Prepared, preserved fish and seafood, 21222 Fish and seafood dishes, or 21223 Prepared, preserved fish and seafood dishes.
