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.
Premium quality Atlantic salmon is an ideal choice for lovers of fish specialities. This salmon is perfectly suited for raw preparation, so you can safely enjoy homemade sushi or sashimi. It also tastes excellent as a tartare.
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 shortly after 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 when 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; as soon as the water is released during heat treatment, you are left with tasteless meat.
The only (and single acceptable) form of water content in frozen foods is a protective glaze. This is applied to the surface of the fish or seafood (typically e.g. shrimp) and thus protects the fish from freezer burn. 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 actually desirable for maintaining quality.
I am grateful that Boxxi exists because it gives me the opportunity to buy fish from a source I trust for sustainable farming, that it is also safe and beneficial for health. I just worry that they might have to close down again. That would be a great shame. I think there are very few fish shops that care about ecology. Very few.
Great tuna, great salmon. Both went into sushi, part (tuna) into tartare. Both dishes absolutely excellent. And the service in the shop? Perfect, helpful, advised on how to defrost. So I will come here; I am glad that such shops exist. Big thumbs up.

A synonym for sustainable salmon farming – that is Icelandic Arnarlax. The salmon is raised in the pristine Westfjords of north-west Iceland, in the cleanest waters you can find. No chemicals, no antibiotics, no growth hormones. As close to the natural environment as possible.
