Wholesale frozen mackerel: suppliers, exporters and factory sourcing
Looking for a mackerel factory or a mackerel exporter? ATC Group is an international frozen-food wholesale trader, not a processing plant. We source whole round mackerel from approved freezing plants in the North-East Atlantic (FAO 27) and Central-East Atlantic (FAO 34), check the specification and ship it FCL in 40ft Reefer containers at -18 °C.
Importers, processors and distributors comparing mackerel suppliers get one counterparty for the plant selection, the veterinary documents, the catch certificate and the freight on CIF, CFR or FOB terms.
We also source jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi) from Chile and Peru, FAO 87, frozen whole round at sea or ashore. It is typically sold by size grading (pieces per kg or grams per piece), block-frozen and packed in cartons, and shipped FCL in 40ft Reefer containers at -18 °C.
For tilapia, our supply is farmed (aquaculture) origin from Asia, offered whole round or gutted and scaled. Size grades are set in grams per piece (e.g. 200-300, 300-500, 500-800 g), with glazing stated and net weight declared, packed IQF or in individual bags in cartons, and shipped FCL in 40ft Reefer containers.
