The Fresh Taste of the Ocean
The coasts of Africa are home to a rich diversity of marine life, which supports the harvesting of high-quality octopus and squid. African octopus and squid are in global demand for their delicious meat and nutritious properties. Offering them frozen ensures their freshness is preserved and that they can be distributed to various markets.
Characteristics:
- Nutritional Value: Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins (B12, C), and minerals (iron, zinc, copper). They are a low-calorie and healthy food source.
- Flavor: Possesses a fresh and distinctive seafood taste.
- Variety: Different species of octopus and squid are found along the African coasts. This variety leads to differences in flavour and texture.
- Freezing Methods: The “shock freezing” method is commonly used. This method ensures the products are frozen very quickly, minimizing the formation of ice crystals and thus preserving the product’s texture, flavour, and nutritional value. This method, also known as IQF (Individual Quick Freezing), ensures that each seafood item is frozen separately, which facilitates thawing and portioning.
At Akya Group, we support sustainable fishing methods. This means protecting the marine ecosystem, ensuring the sustainability of fish stocks, and securing the livelihoods of local communities.
African octopus and squid offer a fresh and delicious seafood experience. Obtained through sustainable fishing methods, these products are a preferred choice in terms of both flavour and environmental awareness.
