Chinese authorities have announced that commercial exports of Boarfish from Ireland may now be imported to China – news welcomed by Irish Minister for Agriculture, Food & the Marine, Simon Coveney.
BIM has achieved a considerable amount of work in this area including new product trials using 12 tonnes of Irish boarfish with a seafood processor in Quigdao. The commercial trials will confirm what formats from a Chinese perspective work best, whether its skinless fillets, headed and gutted, surimi type products or simply whole fish.
