The Scottish langoustine (Nephrops norvegicus) is fished all around the Scottish coast. They are one of the most popular Scottish seafood products due to the sweet, delicate flavour of the meat.<\/p>\n
Langoustines are fished by small boats that normally have tanks on board. After the langoustine are removed from the creels\/pots that they are caught in, they are transferred to tanks on board the boat. They are stored in individual cells to prevent contact with each other. This process is known as tubing. The langoustine are then transported to our vivier tanks where they are stored in very cold sea water, no higher than 5c. This lowers their metabolism and conditions them for onward transport. On arrival at their destination, it is unusual for them to be returned to water. Langoustine are a more fragile species than blue lobster and they are highly susceptible to bright light, noise and thermal shock. The main sizes available are XL \u2013 5\/9 pieces\/kg, L 10\/14\/ pieces\/kg, M \u2013 16\/24 pieces\/kg\u00a0 S \u2013 26\/35 pieces\/kg. The langoustine are packed in 4Kg boxes.<\/p>\n
The box is divided into individual cells so that they never come into contact with each other. There is an absorbent pad on the bottom of the box to collect any excess moisture and a jay cloth on top of the box to prevent the cool packs from coming in contact with the langoustine.<\/p>\n
The season is all year round with noticeable peaks in February-April and low supply from September-November.<\/p>\n
The Scottish langoustine (Nephrops norvegicus) is fished all around the Scottish coast. They are one of the most popular Scottish seafood products due to the sweet, delicate flavour of the meat. \u00a0Langoustines for the fresh market are fished all year round by trawlers.<\/p>\n
After the langoustine have been fished, they are transported to the factory where they are treated with a preservative and then iced. The main sizes available are 4\/7 per kilo \u2013 (00), 5\/9 per kilo \u2013 (0), 10\/15 per kilo \u2013 (1), 16\/20 per kilo \u2013 (2), 21\/30 per kilo \u2013 (3), 31\/40 per kilo \u2013 (4), 41\/50 per kilo \u2013 (5). The langoustine are then packed in 3Kg boxes. The season is all year round with noticeable peaks in February-April and low supply from August-October.<\/p>\n

Our live products are mainly creel or diver caught in the waters off the West Coast of Scotland.<\/span> These 2 methods of fishing are internationally recognised as the most responsible way of fishing as it does not affect the surrounding habitat. Once caught, the product is carefully graded and conditioned for transport to ensure that the best quality is received by our customers.<\/span> For road freight, we have daily dispatches to Boulogne-Sur-Mer, with onward connections to the rest of France and Spain. For air freight, we have two dispatches per day to Hong Kong and Singapore and daily services to Barcelona, \u00a0Madrid \u00a0and Oporto.<\/span> Please note that there is a minimum order of 80kg for air freight orders.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_blog posts_number=”1″ include_categories=”3″ show_more=”on” show_author=”off” show_date=”off” show_categories=”off” show_pagination=”off” use_overlay=”on” _builder_version=”3.6″ header_text_color=”#ffffff”][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.74″ transparent_background=”off”][et_pb_row custom_margin=”0px|||” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_contact_form email=”mediades04@googlemail.com,steve@scottish-seafood.com” title=”Get in Touch ” custom_message=”The following message has been sent from your Website MBS InterMar Ltd. ||et_pb_line_break_holder||||et_pb_line_break_holder||Name: %%name%%||et_pb_line_break_holder||Company: %%company%%||et_pb_line_break_holder||Email Address: %%email%%||et_pb_line_break_holder||Telephone: %%telephone%%||et_pb_line_break_holder||||et_pb_line_break_holder||Here is the message:||et_pb_line_break_holder||||et_pb_line_break_holder||%%message%%” success_message=”Thanks for contacting us.
