Blue Shark: wholesale supply from Portugal
Boneless, firm steaks used in Portuguese stews ('caldeirada') and grills; landed by longline fleets and traded under EU fisheries rules.
Overview
Blue Shark (Prionace glauca) is a lean species found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Its flesh is dense and meaty, which makes it well suited to stews, grilling and frying.
Gialmar supplies Blue Shark fresh and frozen, depending on season and landings. Fresh fish is bought at Portuguese port auctions through our branches, iced at once and delivered in our own refrigerated trucks. Frozen stock, held at our Tondela and Lajedo plants, covers the rest of the year.
We supply Blue Shark to wholesalers, retailers, restaurants, caterers, processors and importers in Portugal and international markets. Every lot is traceable from origin to delivery under our HACCP plan and IFS Food certification. MSC-certified supply is available for specific lines only, so please ask before ordering.
Available presentations: Whole, Steaks and Chunks. To receive a quotation, tell us the presentation, size grade, glazing for frozen product, packing format, volume and delivery point. We do not publish a price list, because prices follow season and landings; we confirm them per order.
Keep fresh Blue Shark on ice at 0–2 °C and use it within the shelf life on the label. Store frozen product at −18 °C or below and thaw it slowly in the refrigerator.
