Whether it’s salmonoid sidestreams, underutilized small pelagics or any other given low-value seafood raw material, we transform them into tasty, easy-to-use mainstream food products.

In other words, we turn their value from low to high with our patent-pending food production technology.

Up to 70% of processed fish end up as waste or low-value products. In the EU alone, this equals 3,500,000,000 kilograms of underutilized raw materials. We see immense untapped value in this.

In times when there is a need to produce more food with less emissions while taking care of biodiversity, we need to use our resources more efficiently. As the global demand for blue food is expected to double by 2050, the pressure to adopt resource-conscious practices is growing.

Our patent-pending technology can be used to valorize low-value sidestreams into seafood products such as chunks, bites, strips, and patties that stand out from the rest.

The x-factor lies in the fillet-like structure, providing a pleasant mouthfeel and enabling versatile use in various cooking methods.

In addition to delivering the know-how and technology behind the products, we have the readiness to produce them at our state-of-art full scale production facility in Karkkila, Finland.

Hailia Small Fish Products made of Baltic herring were introduced to the Finnish food service market in early 2023. They were soon awarded Seafood Innovation of the Year in Finland, thanks to their versatility, ease of use, cost efficiency, and, above all, their brilliant taste.
