Ideal conditions, minimal stress and minimal handling throughout the production, is not only best for the welfare of the halibut, but also crucial to attain superior quality. Gentle handling is also vital for the harvest process, which has been designed to ensure minimal stress, strict hygiene and immediate cooling. Since cool temperatures are key to maintaining the halibut’s freshness and a long shelf-life, the Glitne halibut is kept continuously cold throughout harvesting, gutting, packaging, and transport to our customers.
