Tadpole Codling: wholesale supply from Portugal
A white-fleshed codling from the Patagonian shelf, used as an affordable alternative to hake and cod in stews, bakes and fried steaks.
Overview
Tadpole Codling (Salilota australis) is a lean species found in the South-West Atlantic (Argentina and the Patagonian shelf). Its flesh is white and flaky, which makes it well suited to oven baking, frying, stews and steaming.
Gialmar supplies Tadpole Codling frozen. Lots are received, checked and stored at our IFS Food-certified plants in Tondela and Lajedo, so you can order from stock in Portugal all year round.
We supply Tadpole Codling 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 and Steaks. 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 We do not publish a price list, because prices follow season and landings; we confirm them per order.
Store frozen Tadpole Codling at −18 °C or below. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator at 0–4 °C and do not refreeze after thawing.
