Nothing fishy about our cookies. They just tell us what caught your eye, so we don't push steak when you're after shrimp. Change your mind any time. More information.
Arctic char is a popular salmonid fish with a lower fat content, characterised by its delicate flavour and a meat texture reminiscent of a combination of trout and salmon. This delicacy originates from Iceland, where it is farmed in natural aquaculture utilising a unique mix of geothermal and seawater. The fish are fed only high-quality feed without growth hormones or other additives, which is clearly reflected in their exceptional taste.
Arctic char is an ideal choice for lovers of fish specialities seeking a healthy, low-fat alternative. Thanks to its origin from pristine Icelandic waters, it offers a unique gourmet experience.
When the correct technological process is followed, freezing is a completely gentle and safe method of food preservation. During the processing, we do not add anything extra to the fish – no water or additives. The weight indicated for individual portions is therefore the actual weight of the meat. If the fish fillets are thawed correctly, the taste and nutrient content are comparable to freshly caught fish.
We freeze fish in such a way that you have meat at home of a quality that is almost indistinguishable from the moment it was caught. Fishing takes place on small fishing boats that go out to sea in the morning and return in the evening, which is why our fish are portioned, packed, and frozen within 24 hours of being caught. This avoids the depletion of marine ecosystems and the waste of so-called "unsuitable catches", as happens with freezing on large floating factories that are at sea for days or weeks.
We do not need to artificially increase the weight of products by adding water to the muscle tissue of frozen fish. You can recognise such fish by the first taste; once the water is released during cooking, you are left with tasteless meat.
The only acceptable form of water content in frozen foods is a protective glaze. This is applied to the surface of fish or seafood (typically, for example, shrimp) and thus protects the fish from freezing damage. This protective layer ranges between 5-20% and must always be stated in the product's ingredients! Therefore, if the fish is not vacuum-packed, water in the form of a protective glaze is even desirable for maintaining quality.
I am grateful that Boxxi exists, because I have the opportunity to buy fish from a trusted sustainable source that is healthy and beneficial. I'm just afraid they might have to close down again. That would be a huge shame. I think there are few fish shops like this that care about ecology. Very few.
Great tuna, great salmon. Both went into sushi, a portion (of the tuna) into tartare. Both dishes were absolutely excellent. And the service in the shop? Perfect, helpful, advised on how to defrost. I will come here; I'm glad such shops exist. Big thumbs up.
