FISH, SEAFOOD & CAVIAR
Europe Never Reduced Seafood to a Frozen Fillet.
Smoked fish, marinated herring, sprats, preserved seafood and caviar are everyday parts of European food culture.
THE EUROPEAN DIFFERENCE
Europe Never Reduced Seafood to a Frozen Fillet.
Across Northern, Baltic and Eastern Europe, seafood is smoked, salted, marinated and preserved as carefully as meat, creating intensely flavored foods for bread, potatoes, salads and celebratory tables.
For EU-market foods, harmonised rules govern consumer food information and authorised food additives, providing a useful regulatory backdrop to the ingredient traditions represented throughout GEM.
