What to look for when sourcing salted cod-family fillets

Product specification

A retail pack for a gourmet brand and a bulk ingredient for a food service chain need different buying briefs. Start with the intended end use and target salt level.

Species & form

Confirm the exact species and form: whole fillets, portions, or pieces. Specify skin-on or skinless and bone content.

Curing profile

Agree on the salt content range and whether the fillets are wet-salted or dry-salted. Specify if additives like sugar or preservatives are acceptable.

Size & packaging

Set weight per fillet, thickness, and packaging type such as vacuum packs or bulk cartons. State whether you require net weight or drained weight.

Quality acceptance

The deciding factor is performance after rehydration and cooking. Agree how samples will be evaluated and linked to the full shipment.

Organoleptic test
Specify how you will check saltiness, texture, odor and color after soaking and cooking. Ask the supplier to confirm shelf life and water activity.
Physical inspection
Inspect fillet integrity, uniformity, and absence of parasites or skin defects. Verify the absence of off-odors and proper brine coverage.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer, pre-shipment and arrival samples. Retain the approved sample and agree on inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Origin affects salt characteristics, texture and price. A single-fishery lot and a blended supply require different traceability.

Fishing area

Request the FAO fishing area and the catching vessel or fleet identifier for full traceability.

Processing location

Ask where the fish was caught, filleted and salted, and whether these steps occur at sea or onshore.

Wild vs farmed

For cod-family fillets, clarify if you require wild-caught only, and if so, identify the stock and quota year.

Commercial terms

Salted cod fillets are quoted by weight unit, but the basis matters: fresh-salted, rehydrated or dried. Compare final cost on the same catch and delivery terms.

Price basis: Define whether the price refers to salted weight or dried weight, and if VAT or import duties are included.
Delivery terms: Confirm FOB at origin, CIF at a named port, or ex-warehouse. Align freight, insurance and local charges.
Payment & volume: Match the minimum order size, shipment schedule, and payment terms, such as letter of credit or advance payment. Specify any quantity tolerance.

Documentation & compliance

Check documentation before committing to shipment. The evidence must cover the catch, the processing and the destination rules, not just the supplier's business.

Catch documentation: Request a valid catch certificate or similar document for legal fishing. Confirm the vessel and landing data match the shipment's species and weight.
Health & transit: Obtain the health certificate and container inspection. Verify temperature logs and any pesticide or additive records.
Destination rules: For EU or UK imports, check current import control systems and any tariff or quota requirements. Ensure the product meets all applicable food safety regulations.

Supplier capability

A processor, exporter, and importer may each control a different part of the purchase. Establish who is accountable for your specific shipment.

Production control
Identify who handles the salting, packing and cold storage, and who resolves a quality or weight claim.
Batch consistency
Ask how the supplier maintains a consistent cure and size across batches and what they can do if the catch changes.
Order fit
Confirm minimum shipment, sample provision and storage capability. For smaller orders, ask about consolidation or pre-packed units.
