What to look for when sourcing frozen atlantic salmon

Product specification

A whole frozen salmon for further processing and one for retail sale differ in size and packaging requirements. Start with the intended use and end market.

Size & form

Agree on the size grade in kilograms, whether the fish is whole, gutted, or head-on, and the exact frozen form such as block frozen or individually quick frozen (IQF).

Frozen state

Confirm whether the salmon is frozen at sea or on land, the freezing method, and storage temperature. Specify if glazing is required and the acceptable glaze percentage.

Packaging

Define the packaging type, such as cartons or polybags, and the pack weight. For whole fish, confirm whether they are packed by size or mixed.

Quality acceptance

Quality checks should cover both the frozen state and the thawed flesh. Agree on how the assessment will be carried out and which party is responsible.

Frozen condition
Set acceptable limits for freezer burn, dents, and thawing damage. Confirm how the shipment condition will be assessed upon arrival.
Thawed assessment
After thawing, check flesh color, texture, odor, and the presence of bruises or parasites. Agree on the sampling method and who conducts the evaluation.
Acceptance & claims
Define the offer, pre-shipment, and arrival samples. Retain the approved sample and agree on inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Go beyond the country name. The farming region, feed, and harvest practices affect the product's quality and traceability.

Farming origin

Specify the country or region of farming, such as Norway or Scotland, and ask for the farm or production site details.

Harvest & production dates

Ask when the salmon was harvested and frozen, and whether the stock is available now or for future shipment.

Acceptable substitutions

For flexible sourcing, define which origins or farming practices you can substitute without changing your specification.

Commercial terms

Frozen whole salmon is typically quoted per kilogram based on size grade. Compare offers on the same weight basis, delivery terms, and payment schedule.

Price basis: Confirm whether the price is per kilogram of product as frozen, including glaze, or on a drained weight basis. State the currency and any price adjustment mechanisms.
Delivery terms: Specify Incoterms such as FOB, CIF, or EXW, and the delivery location. Align responsibilities for cold chain logistics, insurance, and import duties.
Order terms: Match order quantity, weight tolerances, shipment window, and payment terms. Clarify lead times for production and loading.

Documentation & compliance

Check documentation before committing to shipment. The evidence must cover the specific lot you are buying and meet your destination's import rules.

Shipment documents: Align lot references, weight, and quantities across the invoice, packing list, and transport documents. Verify the batch code linked to the farm and processing date.
Health & catch evidence: Confirm that the health certificate and any catch certificate or scheme documentation cover the actual shipment and are valid for your destination.
Destination rules: For your market, establish the import permits, sanitary standards, and traceability requirements that apply. Confirm the supplier can provide the required data.

Supplier capability

A farmer, processor, or trader may control different parts of the supply chain. Clarify who is responsible for freezing, storage, and shipment.

Processing & cold chain
Identify who performs gutting, freezing, and packing, and who manages cold storage and transport. Ask about their capacity and handling procedures.
Repeat supply
Ask how the supplier maintains consistent size and quality across harvests, and how they handle seasonal variations in supply.
Order fit
Confirm minimum order quantities, sample availability, and ability to meet your delivery schedule. For smaller orders, ask about consolidation possibilities.
